Parking and Approach

Park at the Gwern Gof Isaf campsite off the A5 between Capel Curig and Ogwen Cottage (fee £1 at time of posting). From here walk down the old road (now a path) towards Capel Curig. About 200m after a path has joined from the left and before you are fully under the main crag, you can see the isolated large boulder to your right up the hill. Cross the gully and head up directly towards it (or skirt the edge of the ferns if you don't have Gortext footwear).
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.
