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.

Sneaky Pete
The last multipitch located farthest left on the main wall just before the gully (rock formation to climbers right of the GOAT). P1 - 5.8, Located at the base of some slaby blocks, there should be a name stone located at the base of the pitch. P2 - Low 5th P3 - 5.9, P4 - 5.10d, A wandering crux pitch that combines a lot of different styles into a single pitch P5 - 5.10c, Cruxy slab right off of the belay that leads into a dihedral with some questionable rock quality. P6 - 5.6, 4 bolts, 10m. Climb straight up to the right of the belay anchor to another big ledge with a 2 bolt anchor only. P7 - 5.9, P8 - 5.8, A short inclined chimney like feature is all that is left between you and end end, SEND IT! | 5.10d | 200m, 8 | |||

★★ The Goat
19 pitch sport route in Marble canyon. See quickdraw publications `free topos' for details. This route is an alpine sport route similar to the Rockies, with loose rock at belay stations and near the route. Avoid knocking loose rock onto parties below, especially on pitch 19 where there is quite large precarious rocks. Many recommend not climbing below other parties. Very well bolted and each anchors is two bolts with rappel rings or maillons. Nearly all pitches can be linked with alpine draws and a 70m rope.

★★ The Goat - Billy Goat Gruff Variation
The 5.11a variation of The Goat. See other description or quickdraw publications `free topos' for details. Pitch 7: 25m, 5.11a (9 Bolts) - Billy Goat Gruff variation, continue straight up from Pitch 6 anchors. Very fair 11a, not sandbagged and worth the effort.
