Description 

Cadair Idris is a mountain in the southern part of Snowdonia, well south of the popular areas around Llanberis, etc. It is a complex mountain with several high crags that need several days of dry weather to come into condition.


Getting There 

Depends on which part of the mountain you're aiming for, but the main paths come in from the north side.

After P2 it is easiest to make one long (50 m) abseil from slings on a spike back to the start....[more]   Browse More Classics in International
