OGWEN

Ogwen; Snowdonia’s other main climbing valley offers a lifetime of superb climbing, normally at very accessible grades in wonderful locations. The climbing is on the south side of the A5, based around the ever-popular Tryfan and Cwm Idwal areas and the crags need no introduction. Also included is an introduction to Ogwen bouldering written by local guru Simon Panton. Particular attention has also been given to highlighting some of the worthwhile easier climbs, which are now often climbed as scrambles. Also included is the climbing on the north side of the A4086 between Pen y Gwyrd and Capel Curig, and the excellent climbing on the Creigiau Llynnau Mymbyr (the Ricks and Racks).
