South Wales Sports Climbs Rockfax (2024)

A modern, full-colour sport climbing guide to the best bolt-protected crags across South Wales and the Valleys.

South Wales Sport Climbs is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to over 1,500 sport routes on limestone and sandstone throughout South Wales. The book brings Rockfax’s hallmark clarity and presentation to a region rich in accessible and varied sport climbing. The climbing is easily split into four main areas - Valleys Sandstone, Gower, the inland and coastal limestone crags and Camarthenshire?s sea cliffs. This book will be the first book to bring together all these various crags into a single edition with many never having been covered in print before. 

Covering everything from steep quarried walls to beginner-friendly slabs and shady summer crags, it’s the ideal companion for climbers of all levels exploring this fast-growing area.
