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.

Zustieg
As for Cosy Corner. From car park head up hill and towards L end of upper cliffs. Cosy corner is the obvious corner in an alcove, and the easiest of climbs to locate. The Alcove Boulders are the boulders that form the outside the alcove. The climbs are on the E faces.
Abstieg
There are Rap chains at the top of the lower boulder and above Simple Simon. For the last 3 climbs walk down off the left end of the wall.

★★ Tylden Slot
In Yosemite some fool would have crawled in and thrutched their way to glory before grading it 5.9. Much better sit or stand start on great edges on the nose up left of Blackwood arete. Traverse up left to the gaping maw… look in, tremble then do the only sensible thing and undercling out to the lip/arete on the left side of the chimney. Power up via some slopey burley moves to gain jugs at the top, traverse left and simply step off into the boulder. Quite cool. | V5 | ||||||
