North Wales White Guide – winter climbing and conservation
The growing popularity of winter climbing in recent years has prompted concerns about the potential impact upon rare alpine plants found on the Snowdonia winter cliffs.
The North Wales White Guide aims to address these issues and raise awareness amongst climbers of the presence of rare plants and how to minimise any potential impact on them.
This guide is the product of a collaboration between the Countryside Council for Wales, the BMC, Snowdonia-Active, the Snowdonia National Park Authority and Ground Up, the producers of the recently published North Wales Winter Climbing guide.
To read more about it check out the following news items on the BMC website and the Snowdonia-Active website.
The guide is available for free as an A6 English/Welsh bilingual booklet which is being distributed to key climbing shops (such as V12) and climbing walls. It is also available at the SNPA warden offices at Pen y Pass and Ogwen Cottage.
Downloadable A4 pdf versions are also available on the Ground Up website in English or Welsh.
