The right-hand of the trio of virtuous routes is often damp, though it is worthwhile even in these conditions. Start under the right-hand sheet of slab where its undercut base ends. 1) 35m. Step up then trend left up the edge of the slab before heading direct to a big stance. Hard-won gear. 2) 30m. Follow quartz rails left to a crack.

Spectacular climbing, set in some of the grandest mountain scenery in Wales; slab-routes galore at every grade. Mainly multi-pitch routes to 160 metres. Must dos for visitors include "Tennis Shoe" (HS), "Suicide Wall Route 1" (E2) and "Hope" (VDiff), all multi-starred classics. Beware of falling sheep. Grades as per the 2010 CC Ogwen guide.

Faith, Hope & Charity are Christian Theological virtues. The route Faith takes a line up the right-hand side of the Idwal Slabs. It’s a quality route, although more likely to suffer seepage than the other lines. It’s usually done in 5 pitches and requires some confidence with footwork early on but offers little in the way of technical challenge.

I met up with Mark today, and we headed for Idwal Slabs. We first climbed the 5 pitches of Faith (V-Diff), then branched off to the right and climbed Javelin Gully (HS). Dry rock & sun at last!

2013年10月4日 · Considering the weather forecast we had a great day out climbing Faith on Idwal slabs. The route had some exposed moves but all with good friction so it was ideal to do in the wet. It’s an excellent climb to practice belay building and it has bomber gear placements! It is not as well climbed […]
