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.

1. The Fear Factory 144 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
Mostly Bouldering
Lat / Long: -33.752348, 151.096546
description
Excellent bouldering destination with a reputation for highballs with sketchy landings. In reality, there's a lot of safer stuff here too, including a few Sydney classics.
Useful Info: Please avoid excessive erosion of the access routes and the base of the walls. You don't want the top outs to get any higher, surely? Information largely drawn from Peter Balint's excellent 'Sydney Bouldering' guide. Buy one if you don't have one!
access issues
If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales. For more information, including donation details, visit https://sydneyrockies.org.au/rebolting/
approach
Find Boundary Road in North Epping. At the end of this road, past the bowling club, is a turning circle and obvious fire trail marked "Boundary Rd Fire Trail". Keep going straight until you reach a first creek and then a second one. Cross the river at the second creek to access 'The Courtyard' (you're in the right spot if you see a massive roof on the other side of the creek). If you keep going on the Fire trail, you'll quickly gain access to the other areas such as the roof-capped 'Sinatra Wall'.

After the second creek crossing walk right along the bank, under the massive roof to reach the base of a fine curving arete. This is 'Frankenstein', the classic-as-classic-can-be V0.

description
Scared witless from highballs with sketchy topouts? Sick of the old sandpaper slab-slide? Binged on mingy crimps and bleeding fingies? Exhausted by endless compression sessions? Look no further, for here in the very center of The Factory is a place you can practise a new form of purgatory: simultaneously shredding both side of both hands while dangling like a demented bat from splitter cracks. Yes it's The Acrachronisms, three searing splitters, with or without finger-locking, flares and extended ceiling section.
approach
Wall and massive roof between the second creek crossing and The Courtyard.
history
What if Warwick, Giles, Mal or some other really hard man already led them back in the dark ages? No matter, grab a handful of hexes, a willing belay and the odd cam, and follow in the footsteps of the greats. Or break new ground not far above the old.
