This page contains a listing of the major rocks, crags, and sport climbs in the area, along with an overview map of the various areas. The climbs are listed by difficulty. This information is copied from the table at the back of the Climber's Guide (4th ed).

As this website develops, we hope to develop this section to provide more detailed maps, topos, and route info for the various cragging areas on the Peninsula.  Clickable links will be added to the overview map. Until then, the printed guide is the best source of route topos and approach information.

THIS PART OF THE WEBSITE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
