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.

All Deep water soloing

description
Along side of tableland Barron River just North of Mareeba.
access issues
Be wary at any coastal or riverside crags for the potential of crocodiles and if you're in the water marine stingers.
ethic
Clean up wherever you go, take your rubbish, or any you find out with you. Brush chalk. So many of these areas are pristine and we should all make an effort to keep it that way.
Clean and brush but try minimise destroying vegetation. Steel wire brushes are okay in most places but avoid if possible.
Tick marks are ok, but please brush them off when you leave.
Please don't chip holds and do minimise contrived routes. Also minimise route beta in descriptions to ease onsight attempts.
For any route you create that you know is hard to find, please add in the lat and long in the route details / geotag it so it can be found using maps. Finding the routes in the rainforest can be hard.

★★ Rum & Rasin
Enter from in the water, a little slippery rock to get started but once up above the water some nice holds and a a big crack to work your way up. Come up the left side of the big overhanging tooth to reach the top. Enjoy the jump from the top into the deep water below. | 12 | 6m | |||||

★ Wet & Fatty
Quite a difficult first couple of moves with little holds on offer. once over halfway up, an abundance of secure holds makes this ones easy to finish. | 10 | 6m | |||||

★ Mrs Leal's Sausage Rolls
Nice big holds coming all the way up. Not much clearance from rocks below so falling outwards would be ideal. | 9 | 6m | |||||
