North Wales Bouldering Volume 1: Mountain Crags

Description:

This third edition is the first volume of a two-volume set to North Wales: The Mountain Crags. Volume 2: Coastal Crags and North East Limestone will be published later in 2021.

The bouldering scene in North Wales is now more vibrant and energized than it has ever been. Each year exciting new crags are revealed and the development of existing crags is greatly expanded.
The rapid pace of development in recent years has meant a corresponding increase in the guidebook page count. There is now too much material to fit it all in one book, so a split into separate volumes has become necessary. The most logical split is between the inland mountain crags of Eryri and the coastal crags of Pen Llyn, Ynys Mon, and Llandudno (plus the North East limestone crags).

Improvements, additions, updates
Brilliant new areas, such as Llyn Ogwen, Cwm Craig-las, and Castell Cidwm have been added to the roster. Existing areas, such as Creigiau’r Garth, Cwm Dulyn, Fachwen, and Clegir have seen extensive new development. Superb new lines have been discovered, often in the least likely of places.

There has been much improvement to existing descriptions, approach notes, topos, and maps. The crag assessment table makes choosing your crag for the day much easier. Grades and star ratings have been tweaked, broken holds, and changes noted. There are an epic graded list and a full index.
