Trearddur Bay

Gogarth Area

Called 'The Face of Adversity', this wildly over-hanging sea cliff contains some of the steepest routes in North Wales. These routes rely on pegs which are in very poor condition.

The land owner has indicated that he doesn't want climbers there. Its best to keep a low profile if you do head there. If you are approached by the landowner leave politely and see if they can contact the BMC. 

Parking and Approach

From the parking head south east on the road away from Trearddur Bay. Take the right fork as you come into the caravan park entrance, keep following the wall around the the right following a rough path and head toward the coast. Follow the rough path back North West following the cliffs. After 200m the climbing will appear below. 

Area information

Gogarth's seacliffs contain some of the most important breeding seabird colonies in Europe. It is important climbers continue contributing towards their protection by observing the negotiated nesting restrictions which apply to a number of cliffs. Most of the area is managed by the RSPB as an internationally important bird reserve and the arrangements here are often cited as best exemplars of how climbing and conservation can co-exist. PLEASE REFER TO THE INDIVIDUAL CRAG ENTRIES ON THIS DATABASE FOR FULL DETAILS. The range of cliffs include Gogarth Bay, South Stack, The Range as well as other outlying crags along the Anglesey coast.
