The big one. The most historically significant crag in Wales and perhaps one of the best climbing experiences in the UK. The rock is never quite dry enough, and never quite clean enough to make the routes feel easy. But on a day when the weather is just good enough to allow ascents to be made, it feels like you have taken a gamble and won. Cloggy is an amazing place.
