Y Clawdd

Snowdonia

An over-hanging wall some 12-25m in height, all seamed with with blind and rounded cracks providing uncharacteristically srtenuous climbing. Awkward heathery terrain above means a pre-fixed rope above is neccessary. During the average moist winter the crag will remain dank and seeping. When the seepage has retreated, however, most of the routes remain dry and, owing ti their steepness, can be climbed even in light to moderate rainfall.

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.
