The current access situation at Craig y Forwyn has had a long and troubled past- it wasn't long ago that there was no access and climbing was totally banned. Now thanks to the efforts of Volunteers and Officers the situation has improved and the situation is better than its been for years.
The Behaviour of climbers when visiting the crag is crucial to this situation continuing and improving.
The ownership of the crag varies along its length and more information can be found below, however its safe to assume that climbing is tolerated and is NOT a right. If you climb here, please do so quietly and inconspicuously as possible.

βeta: Most of the threads bar 2 now removed which is good as they were unnecessary. Peg on the crux is sound. | βeta? | |

βeta: Gave it a good brush and replaced one of the threads. Clean and good to go, the threads all appear in good nick. Quite a hard sequence by the second thread, and some sustained fingery sections. Would be interesting to see what sport grades this and Great Wall would get in a parallel universe - I thought Great Wall was much more sustained and pumpy whilst this was more technical but they were equally difficult (although Great Wall feels a bit safer). | ||
