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.

All Escalada esportiva
Lat / Long: -32.335959, 152.550324
This crag is a sea cliff. Access is strictly under small swell conditions. Even on a medium swell day around 3 foot waves can make it treacherous for access.
The rock is loose, and the rock is sharp. It's good adventure climbing, but it's just as rough on your rope as it is your skin.
Wear helmets. The belay's are generally tucked out of the way of the climb, but there is loose conglomerate rock.
Routes are 15-30m, starting from a belay ledge. Multipitch climbing skills are essential for this style of climbing.
Communication while climbing will be hindered as the longer climbs start off through gently overhanging terrain and finish up the long slab.
The longer routes top out, and are best cleaned by a 2nd who also tops.
Lowering off is best avoided, with options such as abseiling and bringing up the 2nd climber advised where possible (to minimise rope wear and tear).

If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales.

Scramble in from ween wall. You will have to solo down the slab leaning into the zawn, and traverse across to the 'crows nest' belay ledge, clipping 1 bolt before you commit to the traverse over the slot (WARNING this slot will turn small waves into big waves with the hint of a sizeable swell, if it's wet wait and watch for 5-10mins to see what the waves are doing).

★ I'm Dancing in the Show Tonight
Access traverse, do not attempt if wet as waves can make this part dangerous. Rope up at slot, clip bolt, traverse to Crows Nest for the first few climbs, or continue rising traverse to the bigger belay ledge the 'South Side Platform'. | 16 | 15m | |||||

★★ The Golden Eel
Wrestle the golden eel through some seriously steep terrain. | 21 | 18m | |||||

★★ The Mollusk
Another absurdly steep specimen. Climbs the burly arete on mind defying enlarged scoops. The mollusk lingers, with it's wandering eye. FA: A.Alexander & A.Child, 2012 | 21 | 18m | |||||

★★ Cold Blows the Wind
Proud line up the middle of the cliff, to top out at the spectacular viewpoint up top. The intended start was from the North shelf, but needs a few more bolts to reach the lower belay ledge. For now can be accessed from the South Side - I'm dancing in the show tonight, then traversing the South Side Platform belay ledge. | 20 | 25m | |||||
