Eastern Bloc Guide

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.

approach

From Big Rock car park take the defined track to Big Rock. At the track intersection before the track meets the rock (ie. at the Sign that says "Big Rock 20m") turn left (sign = "Park Office 1.5km") and go down the track (which runs next to a low steep wall). 40m down walk right off the track to the wall.

ethic

Mixed climbing with trad and some sports options, as well as bouldering. Bring hangar plates, as many climbs are equipped with carrot bolts.
