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 |
★ Edgy business
They can't be all 3 star routes right!! Climbs a steep face, through two over laps. Keep to the right on the 2nd one to avoid the softer rock.Needs more cleaning. DBCMr anchor FA: Stephen Shaw, Nov 2020 | 18 | 12m, 6 | |||
2 |
A Piece Of Cake
Do a direct start or traverse in from the left Has a Double bolt and chain with a steel Crab. FA: Janne Shaw, 2016 | 13 | 3 | |||
3 |
★★ Yea Right!
2nd pitch to 'A Piece Of Cake' Start from the ground, hint you don't have too clip all the bolts! Some bridge moves takes the weight off the arms before the final face to the top. FA: Stephen Shaw, 2019 | 21/22 | 20m | |||
4 |
★★ Honey Comb
Starts on a pocketed arete, step right following the line of bolts to the double bolt and chain anchor, with 10mm Maillon rapide. A great beginners climb. FA: Stephen Shaw, 2016 | 13 | 10m, 5 | |||
5 |
★ Wasjiging
2nd pitch to 'Honey Comb' Start from ground, back cleaning your draws as you climb Honey comb, or place extenders on the bolts. If you think the first overhang is hard the second one is harder! Bolts are close so can be aided. FA: Stephen Shaw, 2018 | 20/21 | 20m | |||
6 |
★★ Leaning Corner
Starts in a damp corner. Some hard chimney moves at the start opens up to a easier ramp. Then the final technical pumpy "leaning corner" finish. FA: Bryce Martin, 2015 | 18 | 20m, 9 | |||
7 |
★★ Brown Ladybug
You might want to stick clip the first bolt on this one. Climb the over hanging face past 4 bolts to a ledge. The top half is a little contrived, sequessed in between "Leaning corner" and For "King and country". Climbs the arete in the middle, has one bolt of its own, other wise use the nearest bolt of the other two climbs! Do not use the right hand wall on for "King and country" FA: Stephen Shaw | 21 | 20m, 10 | |||
8 |
★★ For King And Country
Two steep aretes with a slab in the middle. Extenders are handy on the slab. The first arete has some powerful moves, but save some energy for the pumpy second one! Same anchor as "Leaning corner" Set: Stephen Shaw FA: Jan Desmit, 2016 | 20 | 20m, 10 | |||
9 |
★★★ Training Anchors
There is 2 sets of bolts with chain on an easy slab. This is the lower one. FA: stephen Shaw, Apr 2018 | 2 | 2m, 2 | |||
10 |
Ahurei
A nice easy slab for building beginners confidence. Travsers in from the left to set up. Set: Stephen Shaw, 2019 FFA: Ahurei Class & Te Miro School, Mar 2019 | 5 | 5m, 2 | |||
11 |
My Sweet Honey
It has a cool traverse at about one third height, with good hands but not much for the feet! After the traverse bridge out right to rest the arms before the pumpy finish. This one did not get explored earlier because of a wild bees nest in the top corner. Double bolt, chain, and maillon rapide. FA: Stephen Shaw, 2017 | 19 | 15m, 9 | |||
12 |
★ Rescuer
Climb the left side of the steep arete. Doubles bolts and chain anchor. FA: Stephen Shaw | 20 | 12m | |||
13 |
★★ Van Vs Padlock
2nd pitch to 'Rescuer' From the ledge climb the steep face, a slight right hand traverse gets you to easier ground, then up the final arete to a double bolt, chain anchor. Set: Stephen Shaw FA: Allan, 2019 | 22 | 14m | |||
