Carreg Hyll-Drem

Snowdonia

The rock type, felsite, gives very steep climbing on odd, smoothish rock: not for slab climbers. Single- and multi-pitch routes up to 220ft, including Hardd (E2 5c) and the "out there!!" route of Samurai Groove (E3 5c). Also a good "all-weather" bouldering venue.

Concerns have been raised by the landowner and archaeologist over the creation of "landing pads" and rock clearance at the base of the bouldering walls. There are pre-historic archaelogical features in this area - please do not alter any of the rockfaces or the landings.  No rock clearances should occur here. 

Parking and Approach

Lies immediately above the A4085 Aberglaslyn to Penrhyndeudraeth road, about 1mi N of Carreg.
Area information

A wide range of cliffs - mainly traditional and multi pitch inc. the popular Llanberis Pass, Idwal Slabs, Clogwyn du'r Arddu and Cwm Silyn cliffs, but also outlying outcrops such as Carreg Alltrem. Many crags are on CROW access land - but not all especially some of the outcrops which lie on private enclosed land. Most of central Snowdonia is both designated an SSSI and also is an European Special Area of Conservation on account of the upland habitat and associated geology and plants found here.
