Welcome! This is a website that everyone can build together. It's easy!

Home

Hello and Welcome to the Slate Wiki. Again like its sister sites the Gogarth , North Wales Limestone, New Welsh Winter Climbs and Tremadog Wiki's this site has been set up to provide up to date information on the exsisting routes. Something that was previously achieved via MarkReevesClimbing.com. Since the evolution of other wiki's it seemed more appropriate and a better option to offer the same interactive service for the Dinorwig Slate Quarries.
The sort of imformation we are looking for is current state of play on route descriptions, pegs, grades and bolts. Something that since the start of a re-bolting campaign has been very dynamic. Any new information will also help with the forthcoming guidebook that is currently being written by the Ground Up Team.
BMC Better Bolts News. This link includes important information on keeping everyone up to date on routes equipped with bolts from this source.
For the latest information and to help with any addition information you can share with everyone then click on the link below.
It would seem a good idea to add a comedy graded list to the site, if you have any thoughts on routes that need to be put up or down the list, and where to then it would be extremely helpful if you would use the comments feature to allow some debate before a route is moved.
Another page that would seem important to add is a list of routes that are outstanding, that need re-equipping on the Re-bolting Projects. If you bolt a route then remember to remove it from this list.
If you would like to help contribute to the on going project of re-equipping the slate quarries then you can with either giving a little time to go out with the drill (training can be arranged through contacting the site creator), or by donating to the Slate Bolt Fund.
If you would like to make a donation then contact: NW Slate Llysfaen, Lon Brynteg, Llandegfan, Menai Bridge, LL59 5NU payable to N W Slate (add £1.50pp to your donation of £5 or more to be sent a free guidebook). Or visit V12 outdoor, Joe Brown, Beacon Climbing Centre, Rock Bottom (Betws), The Great Arete (Bangor) or The Castle Climbing in London where they have collection jars and a copies of the old guidebook available for a £5 or more donation.

Weather: Here's link to Pete's Eat's webcam's, one of which faces the quarries. And Metcheck for Llanberis

go and climb collosus or flashdance or Splitstream then make up your mind. Its different just like trying to compare the peak to the pass ie an E2 in the pass compared to Left Wall
