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.

Trad climbing and Rock climbing
description
The Rockery is a large collection of granite slabs and tors near Rollingstone Wall. Potential is limited although with a bit of cleaning and some bolts???? Pleasant surroundings and easy walking in amongst the rocks adds to the place.
approach
Follow the Hume to Euroa, turn R on the Strathbogie Rd, follow for about 14km, turn R onto Kelvin View Rd. Follow this for about 3km until it turns to gravel. Keep going to a hairpin L and instead of going round this there is a track leading straight to a gate. Park clear of the gate. This track leads to the house.
Originally access was from below but this land has been sold and the new owners are not allowing access. Access is through land owned by the Broughtons, but you need to ring them first. Contact cliffcare@viclimb.org.au Phone the VCC a few days before to get their phone number.

Ripping Tips
At the L hand of the tors is an obvious flake crack. Climb the flake and up the slab above. FA: Glenn Tempest, 1978 | 19 | 25m | |||

Breakthrough
A trying lead on poor rock. On the main pinnacle at the R side of the crag there are threee very obvious lines. This is the L one. A steep offwidth gains the corner above. Bridge the corner to an awkward exit. FA: Glenn Tempest & Jerry Maddox, 1978 | 20 | 35m | |||

★ Plum For The Picking
The best line in the area and well worthwhile. This is the face crack, the middle line.
FA: Geoff Little & Roger Webb, 1978 | 20 | 32m, 2 | |||

V.C.C. R.I.P.
Awful climb, short, nasty and loose. The diagonal crack down L of PFTP. Horrible flared jams the whole way. FA: Glenn Tempest, 1978 | 21 | 10m | |||
