Cwm Idwal

Cwm Idwal is home to many great routes on several slabby crags. The jewels in the crown are the Idwal Slabs with its set of ever-popular routes that attract attention throughout the year. Also of interest in a similar theme is Sub-Cneifion Rib. Above these are the amazing Cneifion Arete and the Upper Cliff of Glyder Fawr. If you are all slabbed out, there is some steeper rock guarding the gateway to the cwm on Gribin Facet. The final buttress covered is an altogether different proposition - the lonely soul-searching leads of the aptly-named Suicide Wall will disprove those who think there is only easy climbing in Cwm Idwal!
