North Stack (Welsh: Ynys Arw, meaning "rugged island") is a small island situated just off Holy Island on the north-west coast of Anglesey.[1] The area has been an important location in the development of traditional climbing in Britain and has several notable classic, and also extreme, climbing routes.
