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.

résumé
The huge cliff up top visible from the road. Somehow it got missed until now. Sun until 3PM (summer and winter), though seems to get clouds and a breeze in summer, and full sun in winter.

Currently under development, but there are a few things to play on. Contact chou chou halperin for beta.

1.1. The French Touch area 4 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
| Route | Grade | Style | Selected ascents | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
★★★ The French Touch
The tasty slab. The first route you encounter as you get to the crag. Cryptic and fingery. FA: Ariel Halperin, 2023 | 24 | 18m | |||
| 2 |
★★★ Greenpoint
The crag warmup. The bolted crack. Requires varied crack climbing techniques. Despite appearances, it's possible to face climb around the chimney and avoid the grovel. FA: Phillip Kapudija & Ariel Halperin, 2023 | 18 | 18m | |||
| 3 |
★ Tick Magnet
Starts up roof crack (crux) and then climbs the technical face above. The rock isn't great for the first two bolts, though it's cleaning up quickly. Perfect rock above. FA: Ariel Halperin | 24 | 18m | |||
| 4 |
★ Manfern
The perfect looking little face just around the corner. Surprisingly atmospheric and exposed for its diminutive size, as it's mostly climbed up the exposed arete. Bolting is a bit less friendly than the other routes. FA: Ariel Halperin & Matilde Pouillot | 21 | ||||

★ Trade Secrets
The aesthetic arete covered in flakes just left of the (unbolted) big slab. Looks like a slab, climbs like it's steep. FA: Ariel Halperin, 2023 | 22 | 15m | |||||
| 2 |
★ No Easy Roots
The route with the giant hole down low. A beta-dependent crux. FA: Ariel Halperin, 2023 | 21 | 15m | |||||
| 3 |
★★ Back to School
Another 10m along brings you to this route, the only route on an otherwise undercut long buttress. 22 if you start at the second bolt. Start traversing in from the far right. FA: Ariel Halperin & Matilde Pouillot | 23 | 25m | |||||

★★★ Rutón
Continue past the undercut buttress and it's the first route around the corner. Start up the corner crack, then voyage up and out onto the face. Varied climbing on some of the best rock here. Rutón is Spanish for "bloody great route". FA: Ariel Halperin, 2023 | 24 | 25m | |||||
| 2 |
★★ Something's Off
Starts on the ledge above (fixed rope). Climbs the obvious arcing crack. Bring a #1 or #2 cam for between the final bolt and the anchor if you're not confident jamming (ledge fall possible). A very good and airy route marred by a yucky start. Walk up the choss ledge for 2 bolts, then start laybacking. The rock is Grampians quality from bolt 3 onwards.
