Ysgolion Duon - The Black Ladders
Ysgolion Duon - The Black Ladders
A remarkably hard place to photograph clearly; I guess if you were climbing on them, you could do so successfully, but then you'd probably be pre-occupied with trying not to fall off, or to keep warm as it's really a winter-only venue. The cliffs form the backwall of the vast Cwm Llafar which is down on the right, with Carnedd Llewelyn and Yr Elen on the northeast side, and Carnedd Dafydd, seen in the distance here, on the south-southeast side.
