Rhaeadr du – Afon Dwyryd Gorge
Kit 1 x 50 meter rope, screw gates and group kit
Summary
Both very well protected activities with bolted placements and well established trees through out the gorge, the main waterfall approach benefiting from doubled up placements with well set-out fixed gear for the abseil, although the stance being relatively small the clients could remain on cows tails before an aided abseil using Italian hitch or use of a figure of eight and safety rope depending on ability. Steep Footpath exits in both parts leading back to car park. Contact http://northwalesactive.co.uk
