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
Mastodon is the name of the cliff line that overlooks D-12. The two most obvious features are the central corner crack that is taken by Hana (6c+) and the prow that is taken by Retribution (7b+).
WARNING: Locals make off with the first bolts of some easier routes in this area. Please make sure to check if the bolt is there or not before you climb so you can make a safety call.
There are plenty of opportunities to add more lines on mastodon ( The wall stretches for quite a ways) and rock neighboring mastodon. There is an easy-ish hike to get to the top of the rock from the left most side.
approach
From D-12/3 follow the service road north towards Mastadon. Park where the road meets the creek line at the mouth of the valley. Follow the walking track uphill to the crag. 40 minutes walk time.
ethic
Sport climbing and lower to clean. Please report any damaged fixed gear here!

★★★ Elephant
One of the best 7a climbs you can find in Pakistan. Super interesting moves along great features, with the crux near a small runnout near the top that makes it super spicy. Just watch the rope going behind your feet and tell your belayer to give you a nice dynamic catch! FA: giovanni | FR:7a | 22m | |||||

Señoreti
Newest route in the crag. Still super chossy so climb with caution. Belayer 100% has to wear a helmet. Set: Fahad Mahmood & Faad FA: Lennart Gießing, Feb 2022 | FR:6b | 20m | |||||
