Beddgelert Forest Boulders - Boss Cuvier Block © Glyn
Crag features
Bouldering in the woods, which being among trees is sometimes damp and might need a brush. Boss Cuvier is the most popular area - fantastic dolerite with perfect slopers and lots of link-ups on the main block. There is also a good cluster of blocks in the Shocker area, which are best visited in a dry period.
White Rhino is currently inaccessible due to fallen trees. The leaning wall beyond the main block at Boss Cuvier has also become more awkward to reach because of fallen trees.
Approach notes
To reach Boss Cuvier: pull in at the Rhyd Ddu end of the forest. The track turns and runs parallel to the main road (i.e. towards Beddgelert); space to park can be found 100m along this track. Walk back and cross the railway by the pull in spot and walk up the track running straight into the forest. Take the 2nd right turning, then bear right at the next junction. After a few more hundred metres the track runs up hill and a prominent boulder is seen on the right (you can actually see this from the road). Continue up the track until level with the dense forest line then break off right on a small path and follow this for 50m cutting leftwards behind the prominent boulder to reach two undercut blocks. The walk in takes a good 20 minutes, but can easily be mountain biked in around 10 minutes there, and a gloriously quick 5 minutes back to the road.

| As of today the problems were a little damp and dirty but could easily be cleaned with a strong breeze (Helps stop the midges too this time of here) al123 - 24/Jul/12 |
