Crag features
A quiet crag set high above the Neath valley that has a number of short climbs on generally good rock. The routes are almost exclusively fingery and technical, and what they lack in length, they make up for in intensity. This is a great place to brush up on technique and build up finger strength.
Do not park or drive on the forest track by or passing the farm. Park behind the church in the carpark by the large gates and walk 30mins up the track.

The local residents and farmers have had problems with climbers cars blocking their parking spaces.
| Climbed here the last 2 days, no one else there. Really hot and sunny, all routes looked dry. all the routes on the far right are totally inaccessible due to nettles and brambles. It looks like a lot of work to beat a path. A long, sweaty walk up the hill. Parking is quite limited at the recommended woods bay, maybe 4 spaces. On the second day we parked in the Dyffryn Inn Pub and rode our bikes via the foot path from the pub, a slow push up but a fun descent back to the pub at the end of the day. No midges, but did get one mosquito bite just before we left so take long trousers for the evening. Nick fox - 10/Sep/23 |
