Craig Cwm Trwsgl

Snowdonia

A big generally rambling cliff (multi-pitch routes up to 320ft) which, though broken, has some good bits of rock among the plants. The best buttress lies to the left side of the crag. Little known but deserves better. Notable for Day of Reckoning (E3 5c) and Exterminating Angel (E3 6a).

Parking and Approach

If based in the south of the park leave th A487 at Dolbenmaen take the minor road leading to the head of Cwm Pennant (take care with parking not to block the road) and walk along the Bwlch y ddwy Elor track to below the cliff. If based in the north of the park drive into Beddgelert Forest at Pont Cae'r Gors (between Beddgelert and Rhyd Ddu). Park near Hafod Ruffydd. Walk up the Bwlch Cwm Trwsgl path (this is difficult to follow on first acquaintance) and cross a boggy section to the left end of the crag.
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.
