Perfect V4 A4 conditions in today’s drought. Canyon compromises of 2 short section separated by some gorge walking. Topo updated soon, along with a water indicator. Ability to read water and white water experience is essential. All hydraulics were avoidable today (we bypassed A3 (abseil no3 as it was bit too gnarly).
Get in just before Afon Hwch & Afon Arddu meet, either trib can be ghosted. Get out after (Ceunant Mawr). Few nice jumps and abseils, some fast flowing water, few undercuts and siphons to avoid. Escape is possible through at the canyon.
As mentioned below, Mountain Rescue have had lots of call here (lots of fatalities) with people who don’t know how to read water/ no white water experience / conditions that are far too high. Fun to play in if you have the experience. If you want beta/ water update; I live 500m away, give me a message on +447920865994
13/06/21 – Mountain Rescue: At 13:43 today the team responded to reports of a male swimmer in difficulty at the waterfalls of Ceunant Mawr Llanberis.
The swimmer was rescued from the water by the team and treated at the scene and sent to hospital
This was a multi agency response and we would like to thank the north Wales fire and rescue service, coast guard rescue helicopter, plus the local Llanberis man for all their help. Without their help, the outcome could of been very different.
We would just like to remind you all that swimming outdoors, especially in waterfalls can be extremely hazardous.
