About Tremadog (Craig Bwlch y Moch)

Famous 'rain-shadow' crag — often dry when the rest of Snowdonia is wet. Golden dolerite, south-facing, low altitude, quick drying. Owned by the BMC. Multi-pitch up to 76m. The rock is fine-grained, highly featured dolerite offering steep crack jamming, sharp flakes, and exposed corner grooves — sheltered from cold north winds by the woodland setting. Approach is a short five to ten minute woodland walk from roadside parking laybys near the Eric Jones cafe. Peregrine nesting closures apply on upper walls from March to end of June — check local notices before racking up.
