About Carreg Alltrem
A hidden gem tucked into the Lledr Valley between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Dolwyddelan — regularly listed among the top VS venues in North Wales. Volcanic rock, quick-drying, with a clean south-facing wall of steep grooves and crack lines up to 180ft (55m). Multi-pitch and single-pitch routes across a compact but concentrated crag; Lightning Visit and Lavaredo (both VS 4c) are the classic pair, Nimbus (HVS 5a) and Sunset Boulevard (E1 5b) up the challenge. Short walk from a layby on the Dolwyddelan road. Because it's off the main Ogwen/Llanberis routes it stays quiet even at peak season, making it a great choice on busy weekends.
