Mid-Wales
A large crag, comprised of several vegetated buttresses which is also a very long-established and regionally important peregrine and merlin nesting site - so the usual caveats/ restrictions apply during the nesting season. The cliff is of historic importance, with many multi-pitch trad routes dating from the early 1950s, most of which were climbed by the famous Irish mountaineer Joss Lynam and his wife Nora during the halcyon summer of 1952.The routes are currently being checked for the forthcoming new Elenydd guide and further information will appear in due course.
Parking and Approach
The crag is on access land and consequently there are no access restrictions but STRICTLY NO CLIMBING DURING THE PEREGRINE AND MERLIN BREEDING/ NESTING SEASON - normally 1st Feb. - 31st July. Outside these dates, please apply common sense if birds are present and appear seriously alarmed by your presence. If you suspect that there is a peregrine or merlin nesting on the crag, then please climb elsewhere.
A very extensive area -extending from the sea-cliffs of Cardigan in the south-west to the mountains of southern Snowdonia (Cadair Idris and Yr Arran massif) to the gritstone outcrops of the Rhinogau, to the old slate quarries of the Dinas Mawddwy and Barmouth areas and as far east as the Berwyn hills.
