Guests will spend the day rock climbing before abseiling down at sunset to a ledge bed hung on the side of a cliff on the North Wales coast. Despite the precarious position a hot dinner will be served with a stove hung off the side of the ledge and a full Welsh breakfast the next morning. While toilet breaks are encouraged prior to the abseil down anyone caught short can be escorted back up the cliff or experienced climbers can take their chances from the ledge. Bad weather is catered for with ledge covers to keep the rain off and help is always on hand with an experienced 'portaledger' on an adjourning ledge. Organisers Gaia Adventures have two locations where they use the ledge, on the sea cliffs on Gogarth, Holy Island, Anglesey and a cliff close to Betws-y-Coed. Sam Farnsworth, from Gaia Adventures, said: 'I have climbed extensively in North and South America and over there it is quite common to camp on the side of cliffs during long climbs.
