Pembroke and Gower Trad (Rockfax)

Southwest Wales has some of the most beautiful traditional sea cliff climbing in the world and this book brings it all together in one bumper tome. Pembrokeshire is well known as a top class venue and has been covered by three previous Rockfax books. This edition takes it to a new level with many more climbs and crags included and a completely new set of magnificent crag photos. Added to this is the trad climbing on Gower and two classic crags in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The bulk of the book covers the amazing Pembrokeshire coast with nearly 1500 routes across the grade range. This ranges from friendly and accessible slabs to intimidating desperate in remote locations. It covers all the main trad climbing and also includes most of the developed deep water soloing. Pembroke is often thought to be the preserve of only mid and hard climbing but this book adds a number of lower-grade crags to the mix that broaden the appeal of the area for more climbers.

The fine crags of Gower and the Vale of Glamorgan Coast add another 800 routes and even more possibilities. The area is often overlooked but its stunning coastline probably has the most accessible set of crags with routes in the lower grades than any other area in Britain. The stunning landscape and holiday atmosphere make this an unforgettable venue.
