Llanberis Pass
The Llanberis Pass provides a lifetime’s worth of multi-pitch climbing and scrambling and is on every UK climber’s bucket list, and for good reason. Steeped in climbing tradition, the ever-popular Pass features a vast array of climbs ranging in difficulty, elevation and pure pleasure.
