Graveyard Quarry

Snowdonia

http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=264http://www.flickr.com/photos/spikeheap/2393987316/Small crag on Bangor mountain behind the graveyard. Has two main traverse lines at V5 and V8 and a few other boulder problems at V3/V4. In addition I did also notice a single line of bolts. Information about the crag seem reasonably hard to come by!The quarry can be accessed by walking up Hendrewen Road along the side of the graveyard. Leave the road to follow the graveyard's back wall, a path which is often pretty overgrown. At the far corner of the graveyard continue on until a fork appears. The right fork leads to the quarry pool, however the doesn't provide access. The left fork continues to a bike track. Cross the track and head right and uphill for 20 metres until you re-enter the wooded area on a steep descending path.

Parking and Approach

The quarry can be accessed by walking up Hendrewen Road along the side of the graveyard. Leave the road to follow the graveyard's back wall, a path which is often pretty overgrown. At the far corner of the graveyard continue on until a fork appears. The right fork leads to the quarry pool, however the doesn't provide access. The left fork continues to a bike track. Cross the track and head right and uphill for 20 metres until you re-enter the wooded area on a steep descending path.The path that follows the graveyard wall is now unpassable as it is too densly overgrown. Could not find any other access after a good explore. If anyone knows of another access point, please post. cheers
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.
