A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.
At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

summary
Rusty old sea cliff.
description
All bolts are rusty and death, and the rock probably not much better.
access issues
The coast path has lookouts facing the north side of the cliff and a large potential audience.
approach
Get to the seaward end of Boundary Rd, Waverley, where it turns left and into Ocean St, adjacent to the Waverley Cemetery.
To access the south end of the cliff, walk down the rough fisherman's track at the end of the cul-de-sac in the cemetery at the sign "Bronte-Coogee Aquatic Reserve".
For the north end, walk north along the coast path, hop the fence, and descend the south side of the bay below the cemetery reconstructed with large sawn sandstone blocks and anti-erosion features.
ethic
Survive!
history
Perhaps not the finest legacy of 80-90s sea cliff development.
