This vast and diverse area embraces not only the traditional mountain climbs on Cywarch and Cadair, but the more friendly classics of the Moelwyns, a variety of small crags and quarries (some roadside, some bolted), and the piéce de resistance, ‘a whole new Peak District of gritstone outcrops in the most beautiful and quiet mountain environment (The Rhinogs) imaginable’.
