Climbers would do well to try out the limestone cliffs of South Pembrokeshire, which trap the sun and make for a warm climb even in winter, or when the weather is too bad for mountain routes.
There are some easier slabs, but most of the climbs are vertical and present a challenge, ranging to very difficult climbs, like the notorious 'Huntsman's Leap'.
The Green Bridge of Wales, near Stack Rocks, Castlemartin shows the Pembrokeshire coastline at its most rugged. Large colonies of Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittewakes nest in these parts.
Parking at the free Stack Rocks car park gives access to a number of routes, known as Range East. The highly popular Range West is approached from the car park near St. Govan's Chapel, but is only available to climbers who attended a British Mountaineering Council briefing and who hold a permit. See the Pembrokeshire County Council publication 'Explore Pembrokeshire' for more details.
Abseil posts abound, but tides and firing range limitations need to be checked. Also telephone Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on 01437 775213 to check for any restrictions because of nesting birds.
