Popular crags
Dow Crag
A great wall of buttresses and gullies above Goat's Water in the Coniston fells, one of the birthplaces of British rock climbing. Long mountain routes on sound, blocky rhyolite, with the multi-pitch classics of the Ordinary and Eliminate routes drawing climbers for over a century. North-easterly aspect keeps it cool and slow to dry.
Gimmer Crag
The finest crag in Langdale, a clean grey barrel of rock high on the flank of the Langdale Pikes. Perfect rough rhyolite gives sustained, delicate climbing with tremendous exposure, and the south-westerly aspect makes it one of the sunnier mountain crags. Kipling Groove is one of the great HVS pitches of Britain.
Shepherd's Crag
The ever-popular roadside crag of Borrowdale, minutes from the Lodore Falls with views over Derwentwater. Clean volcanic rock gives a dense collection of valley classics at amenable grades, including the much-loved Little Chamonix. Low altitude and a quick approach make it the Lakes' most reliable bad-weather-dodging trad venue.
Clogwyn Du'r Arddu
'Cloggy' - the black cliff of Snowdon and the most revered mountain crag in Britain. Huge overlapping slabs and walls of perfect rhyolite hold a roll-call of historic routes from Colton and Brown through to Dawes's Indian Face, the first E9. North-facing and high, it needs a proper dry spell but repays the wait like nowhere else.
Dinas Cromlech
The great open book of the Llanberis Pass, its rectangular walls framing Cenotaph Corner, the most famous corner in the world. The concentration of historic hard routes on the two walls is unmatched: Brown, Whillans, Livesey and Fawcett all left their masterpieces here. South-facing and quick to come into condition for a Pass crag.
Gogarth Main Cliff
The centrepiece of Britain's greatest adventure climbing area, a huge sweep of golden quartzite falling into the Irish Sea below Holyhead Mountain. Long, steep pitches on weird, creaky-looking but generally solid rock, with an atmosphere of commitment that defines 'Gogarth E-grades'. Sea, sun and seabirds all add to the experience.
