Review

This guide covers the part of Castlemartin Range extending westwards from Stack Rocks car park. It contains over 1100 routes of all grades, from some classic 3-star V Diff and Severe climbs to one of the hardest on-sight leads in Britain.

There are photo- topos for nearly all the routes combined with approach maps and diagrams. The guide is sprinkled with some great action shots covering all grades of routes.

This is a very active firing range and this does lead to additional access restrictions and attendance at a briefing by the army is required. However the additional effort is well worthwhile as the Range is an attractive place to climb; the rock is almost invariably solid (and certainly not polished) and the situations are often outrageous – it has all the ingredients for a great day out on the sea-cliffs. So buy a guide, get briefed, come along and join in.
