Description

Went too high into a groove on P1 before down climbing to the traverse. Went too high on P2 and ended up traversing to the groove across a very technical E grade face with very poor sparse gear. P3 corner sopping wet but the spiciness made it feel more epic. Pitch 4 & 5 run together and definitely easier than 4c. All grassy belay stances wet!

Area : Clogwyn Du'r Arddu

Often referred to as Cloggy, and is considered by many climbers to be one of the best climbing cliffs in Britain. It is north-facing and comparatively remote (700m above sea level) on the flanks of Snowdon. The first recorded climb on the cliff was the 1798 ascent of the Eastern Terrace by the Reverends Peter Williams and W. Bingley, botanists looking for alpine plants.
