An over-hanging wall some 12-25m in height, all seamed with with blind and rounded cracks providing uncharacteristically srtenuous climbing. Awkward heathery terrain above means a pre-fixed rope above is neccessary. During the average moist winter the crag will remain dank and seeping. When the seepage has retreated, however, most of the routes remain dry and, owing ti their steepness, can be climbed even in light to moderate rainfall.
| Minimal bog / bushwack approach. Steady 45 min. Head up the Roman steps for 25 mins, passing Wilderness Grit. Not too far beyond the wooden gate is a very low angle slab that meets the path on your left. Walk up this slab and continue towards another clean slab on the skyline in front of you (not the steep one up right). From the top you can see a boulder on the ridge in the distance, aim for it. First bear right and drop in to the lake outflow, then continue along flat ridge slabs to the big erratic boulder. Carry on approx. 50m to the big spike. Just beyond the spike turn left down the hill and aim for the big split boulder. This is the top. From here go down the narrow rock gully on the left, immediately turn left and on your left is a boulder in the heather that makes an awkward thread. This is the anchor for Gwyllt. The route is just below the tiny rowan down there George_Surf - 17/Jan/25 |
