Climbing on the North Wales coast

This is a recent and excellent addition to the wealth of sports climbing on the North Wales coast, put up recently by local activist Jon Radcliffe and graded at 6c+ thanks to a strenous approach to a fingery crux right at the top. The impressive arete to the right is a highly acclaimed 7c that has received rave reviews.

The nearby Cigfran Wall is also well-worth a visit, offering an interesting journey at 6b up a 30 metre wall and some shorter neighbouring routes. With a delightful approach walk along an abandoned quarry track and a seaward aspect, this area provides a great day out.
