Gower

Minchen Hole to Hunts Bay

BOLTING POLICY

New sports routes,old routes rebolted with first ascentionists permission.

PREAMBLE

The short 12m tidal wall above the "prawn pools" 120m west of Bowens

There has been a recent re-equipping of the old routes.

ACCESS

At low tide walk along the foreshore from Bowens.(4 min)Avoid attempting to walk down from directly above to avoid trampling vegetation and disturbing the ecosystem.

THE ROUTES

Old pegs and threads replaced with bolts,all routes have lower offs to avoid topping out. Leave plenty of time to escape along the foreshore avoid walking out up the hillside to minimise environmental disturbance.Well this is a bit of a pain so time your last route for the tidal cut off then top out and walk easily up avoiding treading on any rare moss,nesting choughs or special geological features.
