Hard Welsh Rock

North Wales has some of THE harder classic British rock climbs and we can guide you on many of those. Generally we class "hard" rock as routes graded HVS to about E3, and the kinds of routes that might appeal to you are:

Cenotaph Corner (E1), Cemetery gates (E1), Vector (E2), Dream of White Horses (E1), Comes the Dervish (E3), Left Wall (E2), Superdirect Dinas Mot (E1), Gogarth (E1), Great Wall – Cloggy (E3), Scavenger (E1), Strand (E2) and many many more.

You need to be a competent belayer capable of seconding at least technical grade 5a/5b already and be able to get the gear out! For most harder routes we operate on a 1:1 ratio, and we climb on double ropes for traditional routes and single ropes for sport routes.

It may be possible to offer guiding of routes harder than E3, but we would want a little bit of time to find a suitable guide and may charge more than our standard rate for this.
