Hi. Going to north wales for a week next week. Weather looks rubbish. What (if any) Permadry bouldering is there to head to? Thanks

Ysgo dries very quick and gets much better weather than the mountains. Bit of a trek though

The face of the Harvey Oswald boulder stays dry in the rain and the top is mega juggy, so you might be able to get away with stuff there. Carreg Hylldrem stays dry in the rain and the seepage isn't too bad. Manor Crag dries very quickly and often has better weather than the mountains. The Orme area in general might not be a bad shout.

If you're there for a week and don't need to be climbing all day every day there will likely be some breaks in the weather for quick drying stuff to come into ok condition. The crag table in the start of the newest guide might be very useful to figure out where suits a given day best.

Head to the coast if possible!! Llyn and Llandudno can escape a lot of the bad weather.
