Craig y Forwyn - open

It has been closed for the last 20 years , that is until now after the BMC negotiated access to once popular limestone venue. There are a range of routes from VDiff upwards, though many of the routes need a good clean after years of neglect. All the routes are trad and are between 10 to 40m in height.
Myself and Adam went up the excellent Mojo and Scalar, the latter has been cleaned but still needs time to wash away some dirt. Adam accidentally helped the cleaning process pulling away a sizeable block from the route!
See http://www.climbers-club.co.uk/downloads/forwyn_lr.pdf for a guide to the crag. Please take careful note of new parking areas and the approach. To keep access please respect the area and be considerate to others living in the area.
