World's End is a beautifully-sited series of forested, tiered cliffs that hang over a small side valley of the upper Eglwseg Valley, just prior to its final rise to the featureless moorland at the head of the catchment. The crag has always been synonymos with rock climbing on the limestone in the Clwyd and is where most first time vistors head for. This attraction has been due to the crags ease of access and good spread of grades. However the climbing on offer is very much more in the 'outcrop' style and is generally not typical of the climbing on the other major crags in the area.
