TREMADOG

“The Tremadog area is particularly renowned for its popular ‘rain shadow’ crags cradling the village named after the famous Victorian engineer William Madocks, who built the sea wall that drained the valley floor in 1811. The popularity of these fine crags, with their sunny disposition and striking lines on golden dolerite, has understandably eclipsed the wide variety of outlying crags, but there are many gems to be discovered throughout this region by discerning climbers who are willing to walk a little further (or a bit further again) from the road.”

Tremadog, most notably Craig Pant Ifan and Craig Bwlch y Moch, is the classic alternative to a day in the rain-soaked mountains. This is a full colour guide containing clear maps showing crag locations (39 crags in total!) and access, high quality colour photo-diagrams of the crags and easily followed written descriptions which you will appreciate as you struggle through the woods below the crags; the package is topped off with a portfolio of inspiring action photos.
