South of the Clwyd are three outlying crags very different in character. Llanymynech Quarry
is a vast abandoned working that has been developed to give a major sport climbing
destination - its huge walls span the grades from 6a to 7b attracting ever more interest as
news of its quality of climbing and sheltered aspect have spread. The final two outliers are
long-established easier non-limestone trad cliffs that have not appeared in a guidebook for
well over two decades. Both Pandy Outcrop and Pontesford Rocks have delightful climbing in
some of the finest locations in the Welsh and Shropshire hills.
This Clwyd Limestone Rockfax covers virtually all of the sport and trad climbing available in
the area. The book builds on the previous Clwyd Limestone Rockfax with many more routes,
bigger topos and more crags. The book covers a wide grade span in both the trad and sport
styles - it will have something to entice the vast majority of climbers of all abilities.
