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.

Mostly Sport
Long/Lat: 152.993413, -26.552727
- Unique Features And Strengths:
-
Technical vertical faces, pumpy overhangs, stamina pieces, boulder problems in the sky, steep cave climbing, this little crag has it all. Great summer crag with brilliant views from the seaside walls
- Description:
-
Sportclimbing at Mt Ninderry has been developed over the last few years. Prior to this occasional parties ventured up the odd trad route, though this activity went largely unrecorded. Many of the new routes are true sportclimbs while others are ''adventure sport'' with varying rock quality and trickier routefinding. A handful of long slings are handy and a 60m rope will suffice for most routes.
- Access Issues:
-
Mt Ninderry is an access sensitive area. Please keep this in mind. There is a longer hike in from the public carpark on the backside, however there are trespass issues from the frontside.
- Ethic:
-
Wear a helmet, use a stick clip, be safe and tread lightly and quietly. Be careful of the grass trees and orchids. Don't impinge upon potential trad routes with new bolts. Respect tagged routes and the individuality of existing lines. And please dispose of human waste properly!

CAVES AREA This area is a ten minute walk from the Ocean Vista Wall around the SW side of the mountain. Winter sports virtually all-day shade while in summer some routes see afternoon sun. Due to the complex architecture, a diverse style of routes can be found, though steep is generally the rule. Peregrines stifle climbing and development here between July and Dec. Hungry mozzies also like to hang around depending on conditions so bring some spray! | ||||||||
