Now updated to Version 2

Gower is the elegant peninsular that projects from centre the South Wales coast. Long known for its fine traditional crags and sandy beaches that take turns to define its coastline, Gower is also home to a surprising number of well-equipped sport crags. Encompassing the grade range from 4s to 8s, and the style range from technical slabs to overhanging jug-hauls, and with new areas being developed still, it's time the word got out.

Version 2
The second edition of the popular Gower Sport Climbing Miniguide has been fully updated, and now includes the recently developed Wreck Cove, Prawn Zawn, and Golden Gulch, plus the recently re-equipped Bosco's Gulch and Free Luncher's Warm-up Zawn. This edition includes new photos from local activist and photographer Simon Rawlinson. This is a free updated for people who purchased version 1.

Crags Included - Rhosilli, Third Sister, Deborah's Overhang, Free Lunchers Warm-up Zawan, Zulu Zawn, Oxwich Bay Quarry, Watch House, Watch House East, Foxhole, Minchin Hole Bowen's Parlour, The Pantheon, Golden Wall, Bosco's Gulch, Pwll Du Bay, Rams Tor.

Mobile Edition
The updated version 2 is only available in mobile format. This is a format specially designed for mobile phones and tablets and avoids the need to print out the PDF. It has some limited extra navigation functionality and makes best use of the small screen on mobile phones. The PDF is still downloaded in the normal way either straight onto your mobile device, or to your computer, and then you can send it to your device. It can also still be printed using any normal printer although this version is not available in booklet format.

Mobile PDF Reader
It seems that not all mobile PDF readers are created equal. Some have clunky page layout systems, some ignore hyperlinks, and many won't consistently fit the page to the screen, which makes using them a pain. There are many free viewers out there, but we have yet to find one that works completely. If you are willing to spend a few pounds on a reader these are the ones we use at Rockfax:

iOS
goodreader

Android
ezPDF Reader

Or there's the free Adobe reader on both platforms. We recommend switching it to single page view.

One Review for Gower Sport Climbing

  1. ben.davies said on

    An absolutely vital resource for anyone sport climbing in South Wales.
    Very comprehensive coverage, great topos, photos and approach descriptions.
    A better buy than ‘Gower Rock: Selected Rock Climbs’ if you are after some bolt clipping, (‘Gower Rock’ is a trad guide with some token sport crags thrown in.)
    The new mobile layout is a welcome and useful addition.
    Well worth a fiver.
