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.

questões de acesso
A 4WD is highly recommended to access these cliffs. Smaller cars may be able to reach the campsite at whitewater wall, however they will probably bottom out on approach. Track conditions are subject to change, particularly after heavy rains.
acesso
Continue past whitewater campsite towards the water, locate a set of stone steps just before a 'no vehicles past this point' sign and follow this down to the wall.

★★★ Squeeze it and Please it
Down under the main Harlequin cliff just to the right of the U bolt for Granite Planet is a horizontal squeeze crack. Enter headfirst from the left side if facing the cliff. Rotate, then exit feet first onto small ledge. Spotter highly reccomended for the exit. FA: Rye Stallard, 17 Jun 2018 | 4m | ||||||

★★★ tits deep
The offwidth crack under the block. Start in crack with feet against the small boulder, climb offwidth through roof, no using the boulder near start of "pull", mantle up to break on flake out face and finish around the left corner. FA: Niels Tietze | V0 | 8m | |||||

★★★ Tease it and Squeeze it
At the back of the off width boulder crack there is a small squeeze that exits up and right. Enter headfirst face down, twisting to face towards camp and get round those angles to exit. Can also be done in reverse but is much more challenging. Be careful! Set: Levi Quilliam FA: David Tan, 17 Nov 2018 | ? | 1m | |||||
