Idwal slabs

Cwm Idwal, Snowdonia

The cliff face at the centre of the picture, known as the Idwal Slabs, is popular with mountaineers. There were several climbing the cliff when I took the picture but too small to see from this distance. The first climber of Mount Everest, Sir Edmund Hillary, trained here.

Looks like tough climbing! Excellent texture in the cliffs, and interesting information, too. V.

very rugged - if there is anything worse than doing one of these climbs, its having to return down after encountering an insuperable obstacle
