Description
On the back of the Carneddau, this imposing amphitheatre hosts some of the biggest and baddest winter routes in Wales. With a longer walk-in than most other venues (about 90 minutes!) and longer routes (up to about 10 pitches), it has a very "Scottish" feel.
The routes here are predominantly mixed, in the truest sense of the word. Expect water ice, bare rock chimneys and frozen turf, all within a single pitch. A fairly large and varied rack, including warthogs (if you can get hold of them) is advisable
