Welcome to the North Wales Limestone Wiki.

The aim of this site is for us to keep each other informed and up to date on the condition of routes across the North Wales Limestone area. This will principally revolve around which routes have safe bolts, which don't and an update when routes have been re-bolted. Please consider visiting and contributing to these other wiki's too: Slate, Gogarth, Tremadog and Welsh Winter Climbs. You can use the same user name and password. Get typing!

The fund relies on donations from the climbing community and companies associated with climbing. Bolts cost money and stainless ones even more! Drills, resin and static ropes all eat away at the donations so it needs constantly topping up. Donations can be made by Credit Card, Debit Card or Paypal by clicking on the 'Donate' link above. Donations can also be sent to: NWBF, Llysfaen, Lon Brynteg, Glyn Garth, Menai Brridge, LL59 5NU, or dropped off at the following climbing shops: V12 - Llanberis, Joe Browns - Llanberis & Capel Curig, Great Arete - Bangor, The Beacon Climbing Wall, and The Indy Climbing Wall. Thank you for supporting climbing in North Wales! NWBF is actively involved in the re-equipping of bolts on these crags as it is on other bolted areas in North Wales including the Clwyd Area and the Llanberis Slate Quarries. Volunteers who value the superb climbing available in these areas and the need for safe bolts carry out all installations but would rather be climbing, so help out if you can. If you spot a poor bolt (or other fixed equipment) let the NWBF know via northwalesboltfund@googlemail.com or the discussion forums on this web site or by emailing one of the key contacts: North Wales Coast: Chris Doyle - crimpmaster28@hotmail.com Clywd Limestone: Lee Proctor - leeproctor@phoenixchem.com Slate: Simon Panton simonpanton@northwalesbouldering.com General: Chris Parkin chrisparkinguide@gmail.com.

BMC Better Bolts The Orme:This link includes important information on keeping everyone up to date on routes equipped with bolts from this source.

Routes in this type face are currently banned due to rock instability.

Weather: This webcam shows the weather at Llandudno Junction. It could of course be much better on the Orme itself, but it'll give you some idea.
And here's the metcheck page for Llandudno.

petejh Screen sizing issues 0 Oct 10 2009, 6:53 AM EDT by petejh

It seems some people are having trouble with the page sizes on the wikis. All the text and photo topos I've put onto this site have been laid out according to my laptop's resolution which is 1680x1050, so the pages are best viewed using a screen resolution of 1680x1050 or higher. If the text or topos don't fit on the page without having to use the scroll bar your screen resolution is set too low. You can adjust this in your computer's 'control panel'. It would be good to get a consensus from other computer geeks like me out there who might know whether it would better to change the layout according to a different screen resolution depending on what most people have their computers set to??
Also, Wetpaint will soon be changing all wikis to a standard screen size of 1024 pixels wide.

When I last climbed on LPT in the summer I noticed that Dolphin Therapy has some very loose holds and the single lower-off bolt is in a small piece of rock that looks as though it will be parting company with the crag any day now!

How about some information about the North Wales bolt fund, e.g. how to donate, routes scheduled for rebolting etc
