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.

★★ Reach For The Stars
Great climb with a ledge at the top of the first pitch for easy belaying. Pitch 1: 15m with 7 bolts. Anchors on 1st pitch- chains and a second set with rings. Pitch 2: 30m with 10 bolts. Loose rocks make the last few moves a bit dodgy but well worth climbing. Anchor for 2nd pitch- chains. | 15 | 2, 17 | |||||

★★ Poo pond slab
The original route started on the R of the face to the ledge then a 2nd pitch above. Two pitches that probably deserve more traffic than they get. P1. A line of bolts (mossy?) on the R of the wall to the ledge. 21m Grade 16 P2. Interesting climbing.The first bolts are remarkably close together then the gap and the clips get further apart. 30m Grade 15 Set: Anton Wopereis & Sam Bosshard | 16 | 50m, 2 | |||||
