The sea cliffs of Craig Gogarth run along the northwest corner of the island of Anglesey, reached on the A5 by crossing the Menai Straits on the world's first great suspension bridge, built in 1826 by Thomas Telford. The A55 Britannia Bridge is also worthy of mention.
If the weather is wet and rainy in Snowdonia it may be worth it to head up to Gogarth, where the great sea cliffs will certainly get your attention and commitment - below 5.9 climbers need not apply.
The A5 across the Menai Straits and towards Holyhead.

If you are visiting the UK and climb trad then don't miss out this crag.
Killer routes include Positron (E5/5.11d), Hunger (E5/5.12a), Citadel (E5/5.12a) and Skinhead Moonstomp (E6/5.12c).
There are lots of easier routes in the mid 5.10s as well.
There are crag topos for climbing at Gogarth rockclimbingcompany.co.uk/S… on my website.
There is also a really good new guide to all the northern Gogarth crags by GroundUp cordee.co.uk/CCW037.php.
If you are coming to the area don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information/partners etc.
