Dinas y Gromlech

Home to the perhaps the most famous rock climb in the UK, Cenotaph Corner (line 36), Dinas y Gromlech is the main event in the Llanberis Pass, and features everything from gardening expeditions (Horseman's Route, 52, Spiral Stairs, 24) to moderate cracks (Cemetery Gates, 41) and desperately run out slabs that would be right at home in nearby slate quarries (Nightmayer, 37, Rumblefish, 66), it should be no wonder that this cliff has featured prominently in British climbing history for almost a century.

Special thanks to local hardman Calum Muskett for all his beta!
