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.

Lat / Long: -35.561720, 148.990460
descrizione
A small cliff with a few good cracks, south of the Booroomba lookout. The climbs are described from left to right. At the left-hand end is 'Five Cracks Wall'.
limitazioni per l'accesso
As of May 2021, the crag remains affected from the January 2020 fires: https://canberraclimbing.org.au/access-submissions/booroomba-rocks-after-the-fires/
avvicinamento
Approach up the gully from The Practice Boulder, or by walking southwest from the top campsite over rock slabs to a granite dome. The cliff is across the gully from this.
etica
The ethic at Booroomba is generally staunchly traditional. Most climbing goes either entirely on gear or gear with bolts for those walls where there is insufficient gear to protect climbs. Climbs are occasionally rebolted, but retro-bolting would be considered vandalism of the lowest order.
