Approach notes
Often hard to identify routes from the road due to trees. Walk off the top rather than abseiling, to save the trees.

Guidebooks
North Wales Climbs
North Wales Climbs covers the best climbing from the whole of this huge and varied area. The book is modelled on the very popular West Country Climbs which set a new standard for selected climb guidebooks back in 2010. It contains all the routes from the 2010 publication North Wales Classics and many more routes and areas, with expanded descriptions and much bigger photo-topos. The book covers all the major mountain crags from Llanberis Pass, to Cloggy; and from Ogwen to the Carneddau. It also includes the Llanberis Slate quarries, Tremadog, the Moelwyns, the Gwynant Valley, Mid-Wales, Gogarth and the North Coast Limestone.North Wales Classics
A significant addition to the Rockfax stable; North Wales Classics is a pocket-sized guide packs in hundreds of superb routes throughout the mountains of Snowdonia. From Tremadog to Tryfan, and everywhere in between, the book covers mid-grade routes on the best crags and features top-notch photo-topos and inspirational action shots taking you where you want to go.Tremadog (2010)

| don't try to walk off to the right looking up. chest high brambles and no path. no path to the left from falcon/vulcan area so abseil is the only viable option for descent. rurp - 16/Oct/12 | |
| DO NOT abseil off if possible/practical. It's lazy, antisocial and erodes the trees. victim of mathematics - 03/Sep/12 | |
| abseil off if possible to prevent erosion of the paths cankerblossom - 02/Sep/12 | |
| I don't believe this is Dolerite. More likely to be Micro-gabbro with Mica schist at the base.
Dolerite is a term over used in outdated surveys. Ian Jones - 23/Nov/10 |
