Mount Sion Centre Access (Range West), Pembroke

Following a rockfall at the east end of Mount Sion Centre the approach traverse has disappeared. None of the routes are currently affected but access to the platform below the cliff will have to be by a direct free abseil from the currently limited number of stakes above the cliff. In case of failure on the routes swimming may be the only option.

Carneddau reprint downloads available

An unmodified reprint of the Carneddau section of the 1993 Ogwen and Carneddau CC guidebook is published here with three aims:

  1. To make available this now out-of-print information pending publication of a new guide.
  2. To elicit feedback to assist in the preparation of the new definitive guide planned for 2010.
  3. Although the Club is totally committed to its conventional guidebook publishing programme, it wishes to ascertain whether electronic publishing of interim or otherwise unavailable information is helpful to climbers and, if so, which are the most useful formats.
