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.

Route | Grade | Style | Selected ascents | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 |
★★★ Lion's Way
A great first summit close to camp to get an understanding of the area. | 5.6 | 200m, 6 | |||
2 |
★★ Ears Between
Close to camp and often climbed on "rest days" or as an introduction to the area. The first two pitches are optional and can be avoided by following a long ramp starting much further left. If you are comfortable at the grade, the direct start is a much more enjoyable option.
Descent: Downclimb or do a short rappel to regain the ledge between the ears then head around the back of the eastern ear. Do two single rope rappels and follow the ridge to gain the Cressent-Eastpost col. FA: R. Lofthouse & CMC Party, 1968 | 5.7 | 300m, 8 | |||

★★★ Ears Between (Direct)
The fantastic and highly recommended direct start variation to Ears Between.
