Welsh Winter Climbs

This comprehensive guidebook covers winter climbing across Wales, featuring all the classic winter routes plus many short outcrop climbs. The guide spans 12 distinct areas including Carneddau, Glyderau, Llanberis, Yr Wyddfa, Nantlle, Lleyn Peninsula, Moelwynion, Rhinog, Cader Idris, Aran, Dyfi and Berwyn.

What sets this guide apart is its approach to practical detail. It offers fuller route descriptions where available and appropriate, and tackles the often-contentious issue of grading head-on. Beyond simply listing climbs, it provides valuable advice on mountaineering issues for climbers who venture onto the tops lured by glistening ice, only to encounter deep fresh snow, storm force winds and zero visibility.

This edition extends the boundaries of the climbing areas covered, subdividing the region into 12 smaller sections. This framework makes it easier to navigate both well-known and less-explored areas, while providing a structure for incorporating future new routes as they're developed.
