About Trwyn y Gorlech (Yr Eifl)

A cluster of buttresses, gullies and crags along the coast south-west of Trefor on the north-western flank of Yr Eifl on the Llŷn Peninsula. Big multi-pitch adventure climbing on the microgranite/granophyre of the Yr Eifl massif. No. 5 Buttress is the largest and holds Avernus, one of the most highly regarded Welsh sea-cliff routes. Access is either directly from the beach or by long abseils from above.
