Caseg Boulder

Snowdonia

Two massive boulders of immaculate rock featuring great traverses and classic problems, some of which are a little highball. The classic is the Caseg Groove V5.[Needs map reference - UKC Ed]

Boulderers have been accosted by the landowner in early 2011 and asked to leave, due to gates being left open and concerns about dogs. Advice is to ensure that all gates are shut and not to take dogs with you to this site, which is on private enclosed farmland that is used for lambing by the farmer.

Parking and Approach

Park at Gerlan opposite the shop, and go towards Ciltwllan and follow the hill up to the dirt track. Walk up and round the bend to an aluminium gate on the right. Through this, follow a vague sheep track that leads to a steep fern-filled bank. Go down to the river and across. The first boulder is a few meters in front, the second one a few hundred yards futher up the river.

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.
