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.

★ Main Wall Bolted 5
Diagonal right crack and ramp. Start 5m right of "Main Wall Bolted 4" past bush and crack/groove. Crux is between first 2 bolts with side clings either side. Awkward to clean the route as it wanders ~6m right to shared lower-offs. Set: Roberto Treu | 6a | 15m, 6 | |||||
9 |
★ Main Wall Bolted 6
Start at seam into right leaning flake. Option to lower-off at ~9m, or continue to shared lower-offs 2 bolts higher. 2m of dirt erosion at cliff base has made the start harder and put the first bolt about 5m above the ground with tricky moves. Set: Roberto Treu | 6b | 12m, 6 | |||||
