At the core of Britain’s trad climbing heart is adventure – particularly in the mountains or above the sea. Of the many people operating during the golden era of discovery and new routes in the 1970s and ’80s, one name comes up time and again: Pat Littlejohn. He’s climbed an incredible amount of these adventurous, wild, and impressive routes, picking off plums for all to enjoy. His routes ooze high quality and good style – or at least, the occasionally loose rock oozes between your fingertips! (Chalkbloc.com)
The Llyn Peninsula is renowned for its routes graded at XS, some of which, according to Pat, “rank with the more committing excursions on British sea cliffs.” Heat all about Pat’s adventures at Plas y Brenin National Outdoor Centre.
