About Parisella's Cave
The UK's most famous limestone bouldering cave — a steep, sheltered, north-facing cavity right at the roadside on Marine Drive around the Great Orme. Since the early 1980s when Jerry Moffatt and Ben Moon first started training here, Parisella's has been a focal point for cutting-edge British bouldering, with each generation adding harder problems on the crimps, undercuts and slopers of its overhanging walls. Roughly 100 problems from Font 6a to 8b+, concentrated at Font 6c+ and harder. The cave stays dry in almost all weather, and its north-facing position keeps it climbable when the sunny Orme sport crags are baking. The Marine Drive toll (currently around £5.80) gets you within a 10-second walk of the pads.
