Best crag’s in the World: Wen Zawn

Wen Zawn is an iconic gogarth crag, immortalised by Leo Dickinsons picture of the Drummond’s First Ascent of one of the most famous route’s in the entire world. A Dream of White Horses, which is a must for any climber worth his salt, and perhaps captures that feeling and gogarth experience impeccably. A long drop to a watery grave, improbable lines and a distinctive architecture rule in this tight zawn.

If the classic easy line isn’t enough for you then there are routes that take climbing into the stratosphere on this crag, none more so than Conan The Librarian, the only four star route in the new gogarth North guide. A route I am desperate to attempt, and one that sadly you’d struggle to get many guides to guide you up. You’ve got to have a dream, hey!
