Bouldering
From SWMC Guidebook
Welcome to the bouldering section.
Please don't expect a detailed synopsis of all the bouldering that's been done in South Wales, there is loads of it and people have been going out bouldering here before the word was even invented. The aim is to give some good suggestions and well known problems
Bouldering Grades : Please write on your guide which font or V grade you think a problem is worth. You can even make a committee decision the pub afterwards if you like, but in this guide we don't want to give you too much information on how hard we think a problem is: a) because we want you to have a go at them all! b) because we don't know how to grade the problems anyway.
That said we are slowly giving out V grades for the better problems when there is a concensus
But just as a little clue you might like to look at the colours of the lines on the topos thinking 'this is a piste'!.
Green = Beginner/Kid friendly
Blue = Up to about V0
Red = About V1-V2
Black/white = V3 plus
(Please also note that the lines drawn on photos generally represent where to put your hands!)
