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.

前往
Walk through the camp site at Llyn Gwynant and cross the bridge at the northern end. Turn right and follow the path for about 10 minutes. You can already see the crag above the path on your left. Just after a massive boulder (with some boulder problems in the overhanging face), walk up the hill and cross the fence at the obvious place. Follow a faint path uphill (turning slightly left just after you pass a smaller boulder).

总结
A captivating assortment of problems lies concealed in the forest beneath Clogwyn y Bustach. The routes are challenging and crimpty, yet the landings are safe and secure.
描述
Moisture can be problematic on several routes, so it's best to reserve your visits for dry conditions. The forest protects against high winds but is best avoided during midge season (June-August), especially on still evenings.
前往
From the rear corner of the Gwynant campsite, traverse the footbridge spanning the river and follow the trail. Eventually you will reach The Homage Boulder.
If you prefer to avoid the parking fee, you have the option to park along the main road and take the lakeside path that leads around to the campsite.
It's possible to approach from the valley's northside. Reach the campsite from the main road, and bypass the entrance. Continue on the narrow road that extends northward up the valley.
You eventually reach a farm, go through the gate and turn left down a gravel track to a hydro electric power station. Park considerately.
Cross the footbridge over the stream and take the footpath veering leftward, which will lead you over a couple of stiles, eventually to the Beauty Steep Boulder on the right.
