The current access situation at Craig y Forwyn has had a long and troubled past- it wasn't long ago that there was no access and climbing was totally banned. Now thanks to the efforts of Volunteers and Officers the situation has improved and the situation is better than its been for years.
The Behaviour of climbers when visiting the crag is crucial to this situation continuing and improving.
The ownership of the crag varies along its length and more information can be found below, however its safe to assume that climbing is tolerated and is NOT a right. If you climb here, please do so quietly and inconspicuously as possible.

βeta: 50m ropes won't quite get you down to the ground if lowering off after climbing as 1 pitch. 60s are fine. Best E2 at Forwyn. | βeta? | |

βeta: I suggest pre placing a long sling on the tree to either top out on or back up the peg lower off! Awesome route and much better than it looks from below. | βeta? | |

βeta: Quality route, thanks to the team that have cleaned this up (looks dire in the topo of the 2014 guide) and many other routes here. It has a double peg (gulled in?) lower off, would be easy enough to top out though. Personally I think either do a proper job and put a bolted lower off or don't bother. Threads currently look in excellent condition. New lower grade E2 5c seems spot on, may even be worth a 3rd star. | βeta? | |
