Climb at the Idwal Slabs at the far end of the spectacular Cwn Idwal surrounded by mountain scenery. This iconic location is a large slab with routes at every grade, although all require lead climbing and mostly multi-pitch up to 160 metres. Only climb here if you are a competent lead climber or going with a guide or group. Whilst this is a long way from the car park, it is an easy and wonderful walk in.
