Description Suggest change

A 450' high slab at a low angle. Very, very traditional. Sun in the afternoon. Sound rock, but very polished by generations of scrabbling boots. Serious risk of over-crowding on busy days.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk up a well-made path from the parking at Ogwen Cottage for about 25 minutes to the base of the slabs, overlooking Llyn Idwal.
