The first of two talks on rock climbing in North Wales by Priestley Phillips
Priestley Phillips has spent many holidays rock-climbing in Scotland, the Lake District, and North Wales; he has also gone farther afield to the Alps, the Dolomites, and the High Tatras. This evening he will describe his experiences in one of the finest rock-climbing districts in North Wales. This district includes the mountainous area round Llyn Ogwen in the Nantfrancon Valley, which is hemmed in by Tryfan, Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr, Y Garn, and the range known as the Carnedds, all of them over 3,000 feet in height. He will give an account of his ascent of the Grert Gully of Craig-y-Isfa, a cleft about 700 feet high in one of the wild cwms of the Carnedds, which is considered to be one of the most sporting gully climbs in the British Isles.
