South Wales Bouldering Guide

The South Wales Bouldering Guide has over 1,240 problems with grades ranging from Font 3  to Font 8C catering for all ages of boulderer, level of experience and ability.

Julian has designed the guidebook to be a bit like a journal which ‘hopefully’ sums up bouldering as a whole. So it’s not just about the climbing. It’s about the friends we make and the places we visit because of it.

So there are loads of extra bits in there from warming up, to poems, to wildlife, mini-comics and even areas for you to make notes as you find new places as you adventure further afield.

All profits will look into how we might enable people to access climbing who may not normally be able to.
