Crag features
Four traditional routes and 24 recent single-pitch sport routes (some gear required on a couple of these to supplement the bolts). Beautiful strong modern bolts and lower-off chains (which require rope-threading). 50 metre rope sufficient for all the routes. Quality granite with dikes, knobs and flakes and just out of the sun at midday in summer.
Approach notes
No problems. Apparently there used to be a sign on the trail warning of the perils of climbing on Crystal Crag but this was not found summer 2012. The approach from Crystal Lake is not easy to follow due to the number of granite buttresses to be scrambled up. Supposedly 45 mins from the George Lake parking area but we took well over an hour.
