Tremadog 40 mins away
The rock in Tremadog is a form of dolerite, although denser than granite it is not as bland, it provides routes of all grades and tastes; thruchy chimneys, clean cut aretes, beetling overhangs and blank slabs. The friction on some of the routes is superb, even on those climbs that suffer a tremendous amount of traffic, the rock has not polished up too badly. The Tremadog scarp may only be an outcrop, but the four cliffs contain some of the best breadth of grades and assortment of climbing in the area, everyone will be able to find something at their standard.
Barmouth Slabs 30 mins away
Barmouth Slabs an outcrop of some 20 metres height, located just above Barmouth. The crag occupies a glorious position above the Mawddach Estuary and sports a magnificent panorama encompassing much of southern Meirionnyd.
Although located nearly 200 metres above sea level, the crag is quite sheltered and has a pleasant southerly aspect making it an attractive proposition even in winter. The routes are mostly at the easier end of the grading spectrum with a good compliment of Diffs, V. Diffs and Severes, as well as a single Hard Very Severe.
