I’d really like to do some climbing in Wales – single pitch only though… Hope I do one day – at least I’m in a club in Wales – just haven’t been down there for more than 10 years now 😦
It’s a brilliant place and one of my favourite areas to climb. I would certainly recommend going, but I don’t think that there is much single pitch though.
I don’t know the crags past Llyn Peris, but Tryfan Bach is good (not single pitch though). There’s single pitch sport climbing near the A55 as another option.
When I had a look at Tryfan Bach it didn’t look fearful so, even if it’s multi-pitch, I don’t remember it being huge and it looks like it has quite a few suitably easy climbs on it. Didn’t know about anything off the A55 though – where near?
They’re basically in the area along the route of the A55 as it goes across the top of North Wales. There’s a guidebook called A55 Sports Climbs that describes them.
I’m sure my club will know where they are – I’ll ask them

I’m looking for really easy stuff – maybe Tryfan Bach and those little crags down the end of Llyn Peris
