For each crag there is a location map, approach information, plus GPS co-ordinates for the parking areas and the crag itself. There is a description of the character and style of climbing to be found, along with a chart showing an overview of the routes grade spread and total number of routes. Symbols are used to show orientation of the climbing area, altitude of the crag, approach time, maximum route length, quality of the protection, the steepness of the rock, and best time of the year to climb.
