[QUOTE="Stick, post: 542384, member: 3474"] It's a route on Cadair Idris in Snowdonia, Wales, called Cyfrwy Arete, Rande, first climbed in 1888 by Owain Glyndwr Jones. Snowdonia really was the birth place of the rock climbing we know today - see Alex Honnolds' latest exploits for how things have developed - and this route would have been one of those early lines. Great Welsh names, eh?! Cadair Idris translates as Idris's Chair, Idris being the giant in a local legend. Although it's way down there in terms of technical difficulty, it's probably in my top 3 of my favourite climbs, purely because of the alpine, adventurous feel, the stunning location, and the airy position that you end up in.
