I wish it'd been shorts and t-shirt weather when we did it 🥶

So, is there an actual circuit? So someone whos not from the area would be able to follow?

[@ukclimbingofficial]

It depends what you mean by ‘actual circuit’. This is ‘a’ circuit, but you’ll need a guidebook in order to follow it. It’s not like Font where you can follow numbers and arrows painted onto the rock.

What guidebook were you guys using?

[@ukclimbingofficial]

We were using North Wales Bouldering Volume 1: Mountain Crags, by Simon Panton/Ground Up Publishing. That’s the definitive guide to the area and has absolutely everything you’ll need. If you’re after something a little less detailed, Boulder Britain by Niall Grimes featured a ‘greatest hits’ selection of the area, but it’s very selective in comparison to the definitive.
