The slate quarries near Llanberis have become one of the most popular climbing
\nspots in North Wales for climbers looking for sport routes, or immaculate slab
\nclimbing.<\/p>\n
The development started with the slate boom of the 1980s when the area became
\nfamous for immaculate slabs of purple slate with bold run-out routes. Most of
\nthese routes are still there in their original style and many have become
\nclassics and much sought-after trad ticks. More recently the area has been
\ndeveloped with a multitude of super sport routes from short single pitches to
\nhuge multi-pitch extravaganzas.<\/p>\n
This guide is a celebration of all of those styles of slate climbing. It is a
\ncomprehensive guidebook covering all the routes which is a little unusual for
\na Rockfax, although we have produced such books before. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
