Rock Climbing in Wales

Wales is the birthplace of British mountaineering. The crags of Snowdonia have been a training ground for climbers since the Victorian era, producing pioneers who went on to conquer Everest. Today, Wales offers world-class climbing across every discipline — from the legendary traditional routes of Llanberis Pass to the sport climbing of Pembrokeshire's sea cliffs.

Whether you're touching rock for the first time or seeking a guide to Wales's hardest lines, you'll find expert instruction and inspiring routes throughout the country. Indoor walls provide year-round training, while the outdoor crags reward with views that match the quality of the climbing.
