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.

Amazing burly steep route out the center of the cave. Start off a rockstack, climb several bolts of steep ground to a tensiony boulder problem on underclings to a no hands kneebar rest, then some outro climbing.

8 Project 2

Immediately left of Brown Sugar.

9 Brown Thing

Steep blocky route to the left of Brown Sugar. Not quite as classic as Brown Sugar, but still climbs really well and is much better than it looks.

5.13a Sport 60ft
10 Brown Sugar

The classic steep line out the right part of the cave. Rock looks a little dusty and lackluster, but the movement and the holds are incredible.

20 Le Reve / Le Rêve

The route starts with a tough boulder problem on 20-degree-overhanging terrain, and then moves up relatively moderate before firing into two difficult boulder problems using mono pockets, a powerful gaston, and long deadpoint. The climb steepens to a 45-degree angle and continues into the last boulder problem: a series of underclings ending with a "mono-stack" and a deadpoint to an edge. The climb finishes on mid-5.12 terrain and "several feet of victory jugs".
