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.

Variations / EliminatesThis boulder is a bit of an eliminate/training boulder, with many routes that start/end at alternative positions or have some holds "eliminated" from the problem to make it harder. To avoid cluttering the main topo, variations are added below. Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of the original routes start lower than Hip Hip Chin Chin (BH on the vertical crack). There is chalk low in the cave and I have heard of variations starting lower. Add your variations here. | ||||||||
