This is a guide book like no other, a hybrid guide that combines the convenience of a select book with the completeness of a comprehensive guide. We’ve tucked into these pages the best climbing this area has to offer, with links to the South Wales Climbing Wiki that records everything else that’s been climbed. This means no more compromises on book size or information volume and when new routes get put up and old ones fall down, the Wiki will keep you up to date and in the know.
Performance Repel Plus is there to protect your gear against the elements by restoring the water-repellent finish found in all technical gear. It’s simple to use, harmless to the environment and your lungs, all you do is spray on, allow to dry and you’ll be fully protected outdoors once more.
The Gilwern Area is the first, fully comprehensive guide to the wealth of sport climbing and bouldering on the hillsides straddling the village of Gilwern, near Abergavenny. Gilwern Hill has been popular for a long time with climbers from Bristol, Gloucestershire and South Wales, the best of its climbing on top of the mountain with a huge panorama.
The guide contains descriptions of the most popular bouldering areas in the Pass written by local bouldering guru Simon Panton, and illustrated by 14 of his own photo topos and a number of action photos.
A guide covering the mass amounts of climbing just north of Chepstow. The 432 pages are printed in full colour throughout in the new Climbers' Club guidebook design, and the book is generously illustrated with maps, photodiagrams, and a wide selection of action photos.
Pembroke North – volume 1 – but fourth to appear – covers the area from Ceredigeon in the north (slightly outside the county!) to Milford Haven. The variety and quality of the climbing on offer beautifully compliments the stunning scenery. Traditional climbing remains the main focus with the classic crags, Carey-y-Barcud, Porthclais, and Caerfai rightly taking pride of place, although St David’s Head is now given the prominence it deserves.
