Review

This is a selective guidebook covering the rock climbing on the Gower peninsula in South Wales. This guidebook covers the excellent traditional climbing in the Gower at places such as Fall Bay and Three Cliffs with its classic climbing straight off the beach. Also included are many excellent single pitch sport routes at places such as Rhossili, Southgate, Oxwich and Pwlldu, plus some beach-side bouldering. The guidebook covers a good range of grades with traditional routes from Diff to E8, and sport routes from F3+ to F8b.

Each area has an excellent location map, with all the routes shown on colour photo topos. Areas covered include Rhossili, Fall Bay, Mewslade, Ramsgrove, Paviland Valley, Port Eynon, Oxwich, Tor Bay, Three Cliffs Bay, Southgate, Pennard, Pwlldu, and Mumbles.

Published in August 2020 (fully revised and updated 2nd edition), it includes 14 new crags, and 208 (mostly sport) routes than the previous edition.
