Bethesda


Sheep Pen Boulders
A fine collection of boulders scattered on a hidden plateau which tops a steep scree slope running down to the A5 road. The main boulder is very impressive indeed and numerous good quality problems abound on the smaller peripheral blocks.

Ogwen Bank
This area consists of two micro venues situated above and below the A5 close to Ogwen Bank on the outskirts of Bethesda. Below the road is a small buttress composed of perfect rock with a neat collection of problems. Above the road there is an old quarry with a good selection of problems, mostly in the lower grades.

The Wave
In the northern, deciduous segment of the Braichmelyn woods there is a very fine bouldering circuit. Central to the circuit is the magnificent Super Boulder, but beyond it there are numerous excellent problems dotted around the woods. The rock quality is mostly excellent and the landings are generally good.
