About Wen Zawn (Gogarth)

A rising 150m traverse across the white quartzite of Wen Slab, finishing with a sensational descending pitch where the zawn drops away below your feet. West-facing on the north side of Holy Island, wave-battered in swell, with sea spray sometimes reaching lower pitches. Tidal, and a Feb–end July bird ban applies to sectors used by nesting seabirds.
