About Craig Pant Ifan (Tremadog)
The second of the three Tremadog crags, sitting in the same golden dolerite escarpment as Craig Bwlch y Moch and sharing the famous rain-shadow effect — often bone-dry when the mountains of Snowdonia are streaming. BMC-owned, with 177 documented routes on fine-grained dolerite offering steep crack climbing, corner grooves, and steep walls with positive edges. South-facing, low altitude, sheltered by woodland, quick-drying. Poor Man's Peuterey (VS 4c) is the wandering multi-pitch classic; Grim Wall (VS 4c), Falcon (VS), The Fang (E1) and Barbarian (E1) are the other essentials. Five-minute woodland walk from the Eric Jones cafe.
