Gower Rock: Selected Rock Climbs - 2nd Edition

Selected climbing guide to Gower Peninsula in South Wales

An attractive 2012 guide with photo topos and inspirational photos. The guide includes some crags and routes not in the definitive guide and also has good sections on bouldering. Loads of classic trad routes at most grades with the majority sub E1. Lots of new and classic sports climbs in beautiful coastal settings - why go to Spain?

This guidebook makes a great job of getting people to the crags and the routes in this beautiful area that has its own store of excess warm sunny weather. There is a good mix of tidal and non-tidal crags, with a Gower speciality being sun-kissed limestone straight out of a golden sandy beach. Get a copy and take the family to Gower, you will return time and time again.
