exaggerating to Teresa, I wanted to write and thank you for the
wonderful experiences this week.There were some wonderful highlights,
not least of which was the delight I felt at finishing Great Western,

All week I felt totally safe, and confident in your abilities to guide

Rock Climbing in Snowdonia For me Snowdonia offers the best concentration of rock climbing of anywhere in the UK. Each area of the park is easily accessible and walk-ins take in some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK. The History The pioneers first tackled Lliwedd and the Ogwen Valley and as they devloped their skills and increased in courage they moved onto the crags of the Llanberis Pass and then onto Clogwyn Du'r Arddu on the back of Snowdon. The end of the second World War saw an dramatic increase in the popularity of climbing and famous names like Joe Brown, Don Whillans and fellow climbers from the 'Rock and Ice' club pioneered many new lines across Snowdonia. By 1960 the main lines on almost every cliff had been climbed and climbers began to look elsewhere for challenges. Tremadog became the new stamping ground, and had the advantage that it was often dry when it was too wet to climb in the mountains. In the 1980's local climbers were again craving new potential, and this time found it in the Llanberis slate quarries and on the limestone cliffs of the Orme at Llandudno - the only local area to offer bolted sport climbing routes. Our courses are based around Llanberis and Capel Curig which each have a good selection of pubs, gear shops and cafes. That caters for breakfast, post climbing shopping and evening entertainment! The choice of rock climbing venues in Snowdonia is vast and our local knowledge means we will often be able to find somewhere dry even when it is raining heavily in the mountains.
