Craig Yr Wrysgan

Snowdonia

The closest crag to the car park has several pleasant routes and a fun descent!This crag is a quiet backwater and it is easy to escape the crowds in the Ogwen and Llanberis passes. The rock is very quartzy and can be climbed in the damp plus many routes dry quickly after any rain.

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.
