Description
The sea cliffs of the Lleyn Peninsula provides some of the most adventurous climbing in North Wales. Some of the descents are said to be more gripping than the climbs themselves! Routes such as Vulture and Path to Rome at Cilan Head have long been recognised as classic adventure routes. Others such as Fantan B on Craig y Llam (in The Rivals) and Samurai at Tyn y Towyn Quarries have also become popular amongst those seeking something different. The new guide describes many other climbs at all but the easiest grades, on rock of varying quality. To those who are looking for adventure climbing away from the crowds of Snowdonia the new guide is a must. A total of 400 climbs are described. The text is supplemented by a Historical section (for the first time for the area), and an expanded first ascent section (containing profuse quotes from the first ascensionists, and a few telling quotes from repeat ascensionists, often on the epics that seem to go with climbing in the Lleyn!), together with six new crag drawings and eight action photos.
