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.

Alle traditionelles Klettern
Lat / Long: -18.429284, 146.294635
Build an anchor at the top (e.g. cam and thread)
One person then abseils on that anchor to the ground
Then, the person still on the top of the boulder disassembles the top anchor keeping the rope at the top.
The person at the bottom then proceeds to build an anchor at the base of the rock tying one end of the rope into the bottom anchor. There is a good boulder on the eastern side between the two rocks; thread/sling that boulder to create a bottom anchor.
The person still on top coils and thorws the rope off the other side of the bottom to that of the bottom anchor.
The top person then proceeds to abseil down off the other side of the rock to that of the bottom anchor. Be careful not the get the rope stuck in a terrain trap (e.g. v-groove).
Then, once both people are safely on the ground, proceed to disassemble bottom anchor and pull rope.
Beschreibung
As described on https://wanderstories.space/mt-diamantina/
At the summit of Mt Diamantina is Diamantina Rock which is actually two large boulders with a big gap between them. That chimney would climbable if you are very tall with long arms and legs but I wouldn't recommend it as it's a little too wide. Don't expect to climb either of these without ropes and fall protection. In between these rocks are canisters with logbooks.
Zustieg
The hike in takes about 6+ hours for the very fit bushwalker.
Abstieg
Steps to descent the rock:
Congratulations! You now have 'ghosted' Diamantia Rock.
Geschichte
Most people throw a rope across and prussic up. To Luen's knowledge, the smaller rock has only been climbed once before in the 1980s by a group from Ingham who used a tree which was growing close by but does not exist today.

North Rock - Smaller BoulderThe smaller boulder is the easier route to climb and is well featured on the north side. | ||||||||

North Face VF
The same start as "North Face" but slightly harder for those who do not know how to crack climb and with a direct finish. Hand jam crack top the top. Has some pro at the top unlike "NF"; however it is vegetated. Erste freie Begeh.: | 16 | 15m | |||||

North Face
Middle of N face at the thin seam. Face and seam (crux) with small wire (#3 or 4) to ramp. Traverse 3m R past large wire (#8) and cams (red/green Camalot). Finish up the scooped weakness. Thread belay and large cams (blue Camalot) on top. Erste freie Begeh.: Madoc Sheehan & Luen Warneke, Sep 2018 | 16 | 15m | |||||
South Rock - Larger BoulderNo gear and not very well featured but it may be possible to climb for the experienced climber. However, it would need to be bolted. I suggest using Petzl Coeur Pulses to limit the eyesore for bushwalkers. | ||||||||
