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.

Einschränkungen
This area has not been gazetted for rock climbing as required by the National Parks and Wildlife Act (1972) and the Wilderness Protection Act (1992). Thus, climbing here is illegal and penalties may apply.
Zustieg
Approach from Gate 6. Park on Perseverance Road and follow the Newman's Nursery Ruins Walk for a hundred metres until a track (boundary walk) splits left and heads up the hill. Follow this for 30 metres and the crag can be seen on the right hand side.
Geschichte
Historic details are sparse. On an archived site "South Australian Climbing Home Page" made by Paul Grey which was maintained till around the late 90's/early 00's:
"In Ansteys Hill Quarry in Belair[sic] there are two big off-vertical slabs made of "wave rock", the first being closest to the road, and of comparably better rock, but still a little loose. This line goes up the highest point. There are other possibilities on the wall, but you have to like loose slab climbing."
Musk and Strawberries was top-roped by Heath Timberlake presumably sometime in the mid/late 90's. This line was subsequently bolted along with 2 others on the same wall, but no details are known.
