t> and press Insert. Fill out the fields and press Save=
when done.

he Extra field. Your route will now appear in the crag sum=
mary chart as a sport climb.

he drop down then click insert. For a heading change the style drop down to=
heading 2 or heading 3.

o fit a column or full page. You can optionally flag an image not to appear=
in the printed guide.
- For images that will be printed in the guide, we require 300 dpi. Minim=
um width of images is 500 pixels, maximum 1800 pixels.

Don't worry if you don't get it perfect, there are plenty of people who =
will fix stuff up.
Guide Book Style Guide
The following points give tips on how to write consistent text and route=
descriptions.
- Grammar: Please use correct English grammar and punctu=
ation in climb descriptions, including correct use of capitals and proper s=
entences. Avoid txt style abbreviations. Remember it will be published in a=
book.
- Keep sentences short and punchy. Hemingway style. If in doubt, break se=
ntences with multiple clauses into their own sentences.
- Capitalisation: Headings and climb names should be cap=
italised in Title Case.
- Punctuation: always place a space after full=
stop, comma, colon or semi-colon, but never before. An ell=
ipsis has 3 dots only. There should be a space bother before and after a da=
sh.
- Spacing: only ever a single space. No blank lines.
- No space between the number and "m" or "km" where its a length eg "123m=
" not "123 m"
- Try to keep line breaks to a minimum, as they chew up space. But line b=
reaks in a multi pitch climb are OK, they make it much more readable.
- For multipitch, the format is:
1. 30m 18. Blah.
2. 25m 26. Blah blah.=20
- Note - no brackets at all, use a dot after the pitch number and a dot a=
fter the grade.
- Put each pitch on a new line.
- For climbs, include the first ascent in the FA box. For boulders, no FA=
is recorded.
- No "FA" text is needed, just the name and date of the first ascensionis=
t. FFA is ok in that case. Full names are preferred if available, otherwise=
like "J. Nermut" with a space after the full stop.
- Dates: Standard format is the 3 letter abbreviated mon=
th (with no full stop) with the full year. e.g. Jun 1974 or Dec 2007. Full =
stop at the end of the FA info.
- Abbreviations: Abbreviations for L and R are ok but no=
t mandatory. BR, FH & DBB are also ok.
- Ar=C3=AAte has a circumflex on the e.
- Guides should read left to right, with very few exceptions. However, ke=
ep in mind the direction the reader will be walking along the cliff line.=
li>
- Break climbs into sections based on buttresses or crags wherever possib=
le. Use a heading2 or heading3 style text block to start the section.
Here is an example climb in the correct style:
Stud City 100m 19
The original classic on this part of the cliff, it is highly regarded. Wel=
l protected, it takes in the enormous flake that can be seen from just befo=
re the horizontal chimney on the sea level traverse. It is much easier to a=
pproach along the higher traverse line, the route along the base of these c=
limbs, than from sea level. The climb begins straight above the horizontal =
chimney by the largest gum tree on the scrubby terrace.
1. 30m 18. Up right trending crack until the large hollow flake is reached=
. Traverse right, along the flake and up groove to belay on ledges.
2. 40m 19. Continue up to the flake, undercling right along the flake to i=
ts end. Move 3m right across slab to belay below water runnel chimney.
3. 30m 19. Move up chimney groove to finger crack, continue up until the c=
limbing gets desperate, at which point it is possible to move left onto the=
wall, which is climbed to a small ledge and crack. Take the handcrack to t=
op (keep the rope on for the tree-filled corner above).
