Did anyone notice it’s summer now??! That means Pembroke!
For anyone who hasn’t been before, Pembroke is home to some real world-class sea cliff climbing with the full range of grades so there’s plenty for everyone!
When: 6th/7th August
Where: We’ll stay at Bosherston campsite, it’s cheap and cheerful with a great local pub
How much: It’s £5pppn, I’ll try to collect fees off everyone and pay in a lump so please remember cash!!
Pembroke is awesome BUT Mr Enthusiastic’s declaration of “climbs at all grades” may be a touch too keen.
Pembroke tends not to offer all that much below VS (at least not of quality), and the approaches are usually abseils into tidal ledges (so you need to be able to climb out within a time window). This is great fun but it is also more serious than eg bimbling around Shorn Cliff. So keep that in mind if you haven’t been before.
Also there are unexploded bombs but we don’t talk about those.
Very true, especially re the situation getting to and at the bottom of sea cliffs so thanks for keeping me honest!
For anyone looking for grades below VS it’s worth taking a look at Saddle Head, it’s still an abseil (the scramble’s a sandbag), but is generally friendlier than most of the other crags.
If anyone has concerns about their ability and wants to talk it through then please feel free to reach out to me / any other experienced member directly
