#43

Clogwyn Du'r Arddu
Short name: Cloggy

- on the north flank of Snowdon, is considered by many to be one of the best climbing cliffs in Britain. It is north-facing and comparatively remote (700 m or 2,300 ft above sea level). The name is Welsh and probably means "black (clue #3) cliff of the plough (clue #2)". It lends its name to Clogwyn Station on the Snowdon Mountain Railway (clue #3) which overlooks it.
Climbers who have contributed to the many high-quality routes on the cliff included John Streetly Jack Longland, Ron James, Colin Kirkus (clue #1), Joe Brown, Don Whillans, and Johnny Dawes.

A pleasing shot of Pemadumcook, but the mountain I have in mind does not have an Abenaki name. :D
