Sport Climbing, Penmaen Head

Penmaen Head overlooks the A55 expressway near Old Colwyn. There are 7 walls (Expressway Wall, Railway Tunnel Wall, Wen Wall, Red Wall, Quarry Wall, Flowstone Wall, & Penmaenrhos wall) to climb on.

The grades range from F5 to F7a+, with the vast majority of routes being F6s. There is easy access to the walls, thus making this a popular sport climbing venue.
