Although close to Snowdonia, the climbing here is very different in both character and weather. The crags are mostly close together, and the climbing here is fantastic. Route of all types and difficulty, with excellent natural protection, probably the best pure trad region in Wales. The friction on the rock is good, and most of the holds, if you have them, are quite positive. Double ropes are preferred, since most of the routes wander a little, and roofs seem to always occur on even the easier lines. Excellent rock and decent weather (for Wales at least), what more can you ask for. Classic routes on every crag, well worth the extended (most likely) visit!
