Crag features
CLOGWYN MANNOD

The first of the Cwm Crafnant crags one encounters when driving up the valley towards

Blaen y Nant lies above Maes Mawr on Clogwyn Mannod. There are two distinct buttresses

known as Overlapping Buttress and Bog Buttress.

OVERLAPPING BUTTRESS

The crag lies on the left of the valley overlooking Maes Mawr. It is a separate, clean, largely

slabby buttress with an arched, quarried hole on its left. The climbs start from the

sheep-cropped green-sward at the foot of the buttress. It faces north and receives little sun.

The rock is slaty, on the whole sound, but due to the absence of traffic rather overgrown,lichenous and has a very nasty heather topout.

Take care when descending, as the vegetation considerably overhangs the edge of the pit and the top of the crag.
