South Wales Bouldering

South Wales Bouldering is the first comprehensive guidebook dedicated to the rich and varied bouldering found across South Wales. With more than 1,000 problems documented, this book spans decades of development and highlights some of the region’s best-kept secrets.

Covering popular spots such as Pembrokeshire, the Gower Peninsula, and the South East Wales coastline, this guide explores diverse rock types—from sandstone and limestone to dolerite and even rare grit. Whether you’re a local looking for new projects or a visitor keen to explore new terrain, this guidebook brings the best of South Wales bouldering together in one compact volume.

Importantly, the guide arrives at an exciting time. With modern indoor bouldering gyms like TCH Swansea and Roc-Bloc Cardiff boosting local interest, and Flashpoint Swansea on the way, the outdoor scene is thriving like never before. Now, you can take that energy outdoors and experience the natural bouldering that South Wales has to offer.

Detailed full-colour topos, photos, and clear route descriptions make navigating each area easy. The flapped paperback format ensures durability while keeping things lightweight for your climbing pack.
