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.

Sport climbing and Trad climbing
Lat / Long: -34.840485, 150.473056
access issues
These crags are remote from civilisation. Be prepared for NO phone reception in and around the Babylon crag areas!
approach
Navigate to (-34.84705, 150.47955).
There is now a locked gate on the access track due to misuse of the area. Park near the gate and walk, taking the right route past the gate for 1km to arrive at the power line tower.
For the Western cliff line follow the worn track towards the cliff line, West of the power line, follow the cliff line right to find a way to scramble down (not great access!).
For the Eastern clifflines go from the power line tower through the bush to the right of the power line corridor - use theCrag OSM map overlay for a route hint. Do not attempt to cross from the Western to the Eastern areas below the cliff line - only pain and frustration awaits!
ethic
Mostly developed as a sport climbing and bouldering area. Some trad climbing exists, mainly the pure cracks. If developing new areas keep an eye and and ear out for Aboriginal cultural heritage, including cave art.
history
Brogan Bunt and others from 1993 onwards.
1.1. Eastern Cliffline 11 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
Sport climbing and Trad climbing
Lat / Long: -34.838952, 150.474457
description
Routes are described RIGHT to LEFT.
approach
There is a locked gate 900m from the carpark. There is space to park and walk in for an extra 10 minutes. More concerningly, there is a sign that says access prohibited - but it is likely directed at the dirtbag camping area and the dirt bike tracks. It's crown land and as such it's public access.
