I was not disappointed. Froggatt is a collection of ignimbrite outcroppings that are left over from the great Taupo eruption that is situated in the middle of a cow pasture. Trees and grass and moss and lichens and all matter of green life grow all around the cliffs and (while detracting a little from the quality of the climbs in some places) create a stunning scenery that quickly ate through my camera battery, so I mostly have pictures of just the first day of climbing.
I got to know a lot of really cool people within the climbing club and I am looking forward to climbing with them as often as I can throughout the semester I am in New Zealand. Here are some photos:

Great pics. Who is the climber between the rocks in the photo of the day?
