Includes crags South of the A5 through the Ogwen Valley. Popular crags and routes include: Idwal Slabs (Tennis Shoe HS 4b), Tryfan Bach (Little Tryfan Arete Mod), East Face Of Tryfan (Grooved Arete HVD). Please note that Carreg Mianog and Amphitheatre Buttress (Craig yr Ysfa) are within the 'Carneddau' area.
Grooved arete had a traffic jam of slow climbers, one group must have taken 30 minutes minimum to lead pitch 4, so we decided to do Yew Buttress after completing the first pitch on GA. I was also put off by the memory of some horrendous polish and slightly damp conditions.
