Long regarded as the exclusive playground of the climbing elite, Pat Littlejohn and Mick Lovatt reveal the Llŷn Peninsula as a destination for any adventurous climber eager to discover a largely unknown part of North Wales.
With hundreds of new routes, Pen Llŷn offers unmatched variety: from the granite outcrops and towering sea-cliffs of northern Llŷn to the awesome walls of Cilan Head and Craig Dorys; from the suntrap zawns of Trwyn Maen Melyn to the amenable quarries of Ty'n Tywyn. With a wealth of both new trad and sport climbs, there is something here for everyone.
Stunning photography, detailed approach maps, accurate topos and comprehensive route descriptions make this an easy-to-use guidebook, and promise climbing on Pen Llŷn to be an accessible and unmissable experience...
