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.

summary
The distinct ‘finger’ of granite which extends out of the slopes above Eagle Rock.
description
Currently The Finger has only one long traditional route up it’s slabby face but has the potential for several hard traditional lines on its overhanging face. It’s understood some of the low-angled slabs around The Finger have been climbed by Peter O’Neill and party.
access issues
From early May to mid October, the road to the Borland crags is closed. Though winter here is not suitable for cragging due to seepage. But for those determined enough, a bike can be ridden up the road.
approach
As for Eagle Rock, then up tussock slopes.
ethic
Leave no trace.

★★ The Finger
This climb ascend the obvious left crack systems on the low angled face of The Finger. It can be done in one long pitch or broken in two below the true summit. It's an adventurous route with good gear. Crack climbing skills are required or up the grade by 2. FA: Steve Skelton, Keith Brown & Shana Payne, 2012 | 16 | 40m | |||||
