Of the sitting variety. On the long back wall, on the rise before the groundhog arete, there's a V2 problem called Var which starts by a jump to a large jug. I did the sitstart up to the jug today, which is really rather good, in a strangely stoney middleton sort of way. Stand up on undercuts (there's a good foothold if you brush the greenery aside) and there is a crimp and gaston at right angles to each other a little higher up. It isn't hard to get to them, but making the move from there to the jug is damn tricky. Hard to grade, as it's quite contorted and dynamic (or it was for me) but it feels around V6/7. Named it Big Muff.

Easy problem to find as it's just right of the graffitied number 17.

Big Muff - get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're killing me
Big muff - get away with your terrible stuff
God knows you're stifling me

It's like an allergy, with no apology
It saps my energy most caterempously
Big Muff - can't you see that I've had enough
God knows you're stifling me
God knows you're stifling me
Oh Lord, you're trying to kill me

This thing is dangerous
I'm taking it serious
No need to be envious
It's bigger than both of us

Aye, you don't need to jump, you can start it with a hand on the crimp and a foot on the wall, but the ground is still a crucial foothold - which I guess is the frog impression you're referring to...
