Ogmore (Main)

South East Wales

Generally steep and overhanging rock - mostly good but "some of the finishes and occasionally entire routes" can be unstable. In-situ gear may be corroded. A real adventure experience, but not to be underrated. Routes up to 36m.

Tried to climb at Dirty Harry Walls today. Apparently there are 5 pares of peregrine Falcons nested here at the moment. Or that's what the very rude guy bird watching was shouting at us as we walked along the top. We went to another area.
