In this guide to climbing, 45 mountaineering rock climbs in Snowdonia and the Lake District are described and graded according to their level of difficulty. The author gives details of the routes, equipment required, time taken and descent routes. Typically graded between difficult and severe, the routes tend to follow the logical line up a cliff and onto a mountain's summit. They all represent long and committing trips, but fall within the capabilities of the average weekend climber, and provide the natural next step for the adventurous scrambler. The climbs outlined, all chosen because they represent a full-blown mountaineering experience, include Pinnacle Rib on Tryfan, Dow Crag's Gordon and Craig's route, Great Gable's Needle Ridge, and Red Wall and Longland's Continuation on Lliwedd.
