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.

description
Scattered boulders on the slopes of mount Beerburrum. Test all holds! Expect loose rock until some traffic has passed. Plenty more blocks to go.
The south/ south western side of the mountain holds many many blocs stacked on top of each other. Heaps of potential for FA's. If you head up to the fire tower then head to the south eastern or western edge you can access the blocs from there.
First Nations Information

access issues
Most 'Glasshouse Mountains' climbing is within the Glass House Mountains National Park. Please respect the environment and other people's enjoyment of it. Access to climbing here is a privilege, not a right.
The 2019 Ngungun track expansion & fortification work is now complete, and the mountain is once again fully open.
approach
Up the summit ramp until you get to the second switchback. There, head straight into the bush; boulders are visible 20 meters ahead.
ethic
Modern climbers establishing new routes have taken great pains to ensure any new routes do not interfere with the historic routes established many decades ago.
Retro-bolting of existing routes is unacceptable!
New routes shall make use of traditional protection where available.
history
Lots of rock walked past, looked at, and decided against for years. Climbs currently described are from June 2018.
