Iwan Arfon Jones has taken on the lead role as co-ordinating author of this popular guide, assisted by a team of local activists. Although there have
been relatively few new routes since the 1994 guide, a thorough re-assessment of
all the old and existing routes has been made. This new guide also includes a
short bouldering section written by Simon Panton.
Considerable historical research has been carried out for the guide, and numerous relevant (and often amusing) quotes have been added into to the first ascent section. A complete set of mostly new photodiagrams are being prepared for the new guide.
In keeping with the Climbers' Club's preference for using only Welsh names for its Welsh guidebook titles, the new guide's title is 'Llanberis' rather than 'Llanberis Pass'. Although the climbing is, of course, well up the Pass from the town of Llanberis, this is appropriate because Llanberis is in fact the old name for the village of Nant Peris.
