Wales Focus: Climbing in Snowdonia

Rock Stars...

Snowdonia boasts some of the best and most varied rock climbing in the world. One of the UK’s best crags, Clogwyn Du’r Arddu (Cloggy), lies on the north flank of Snowdon, while the nearby dramatic cliffs of the Llanberis Pass represent a rock climber’s playground.
