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.

1.1. Breathless Boulder 4 routes in Boulder
- Summary:
-
Lat / Long: -33.954608, 18.440097
description
This boulder sits right at the top of Devil's peak and features two relatively easy and short boulder problems. Note that it is definitely not worth a dedicated mission and should be thought of as a bit of entertainment on the side of a Devil's peak hike.
Note that for the two routes on the left you don't need pads in my opinion.
approach
Just pop up to Devil's peak and the boulder is right there next to the Trig beacon.
Approach via Tafelberg road: Park near as possible to the Devil's peak hike start and take the route to the summit. 2 hours.
Approach via Newlands: Park somewhere off the M3 in Newlands and Hike up Newlands Ravine. Turn off right to get up to the peak.
history
I stumbled upon this block on a Devil's peak hike in 2022 where I luckily decided to bring shoes with "just in case". You might want to do the same!

★ Umlindi Wemingizimu
Start standing on the far left hand side arete using the opposing side pulls. Move up the arete and top-out. Note: A stronger climber (with chalk!) could probably do it as a sit-start which makes it a grade or two harder. I also have no idea on the grading and it could be completely off. Advice would be welcome. FA: Bruce McD, 29 Oct 2022 | 5A | ||||||

★★ Smoke Rings of Power
Sit start beneath two obvious flakey holds above you. Step up and into the sharp and super funky undercling, then reach way up to an odd edge with an option for a kind of thumbercling move. Top out. Not at all sure of the grade! FA: Bruce McD, 29 Oct 2022 | 5C | ||||||

Sit start, stick to the left and use the small slopers. | 5A+ | ||||||
