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.

Find out about and observe access restrictions and agreements.
Use existing access tracks to minimise erosion - keep to hard ground & rock surfaces.
Do not disturb nesting birds or other wildlife.
Protect all native vegetation, especially at the base of cliffs. Wire brushing to remove mosses and 'gardening' in cracks and gullies is not permitted. Use slings to protect trees while belaying or abseiling if belay anchors are not provided.
Respect sites of geological, cultural, or other scientific interest. Do NOT develop new climbs in or near Cultural Heritage sites.
Chalk has high visual impact - minimise your use of it. Parks Victoria have requested the use of coloured chalk in Gariwerd.
Minimise the placement of fixed equipment, especially where Trad gear is available. Respect any "no bolting" areas.
Do not leave any rubbish - take it home with you.
Dispose of human waste in a sanitary manner (bury, or even better pack it out). Do not pollute water supplies.
Off-road driving is illegal in Gariwerd.
Keep campsites clean, and do not light campfires outside of official metal fire pits.
access issues
Park Victoria's designated climbing area of "Andersens West" appears to include a significant proportion of Right Main, this includes everything west of Anderson's Consulting Boulder. This area may need to be split-up in the future to better reflect PV boundaries.
ethic
Grampians / Gariwerd access issues have emerged (2019) due to potential risk to the environment and cultural sites. Climbers need to be aware that there are significant Aboriginal sites in the Grampians, especially in cave areas. Please take time to understand the access situation. Leave no trace and climb responsibly.
Please note that due to the fact that the Grampians is a National Park, dogs and other pets are not allowed in the park except in vehicles on sealed roads and in sealed car parks.

Jump start to slab. | V5 | ||||

★★★ Neo
'Hands-free' Run very fast across the top of Andersens Consulting Boulder, kick off from adjoining rock and wall-run, Matrix-style, horizontally across the face of Peter Parker before leaping back to main boulder. FA: Mike Fletcher, 2002 | V1 | 4m | |||

★★ Spider Mate
Stand start to Peter Parker. | V11 | ||||
| 5 | ★★★ Mandatory Choices | V7 | ||||
| 6 |
★★★ Lightening Arete
Definitely gets fear grades, hardest part is the bottom couple of metres. Top is committing, but pretty positive. A decent pad on the upper rock, plus a spotter, makes the move that much easier. FA: Chris Jones, 2000 | V7 | 6m | |||
| 7 |
★★★ Faith
Sitstart at the flake, following it up and reach up to the ledge. | V3 | 3m | |||
