ROCK CLIMBING - BOX BAY (May 2011)

. South Wales Mountaineering Club - Box Bay
Box Bay, Porthcawl is about 500 – 600 metres south east along the coast path from Rest Bay (car park), it has excellent solid rock for the majority, but a little looser on the right towards the overhangs.

Climb approx 4 hours either side of low tide. The rock dries very quickly and is a lovely warm suntrap, but can be windy at the top.

The use of old or older rock shoes is recommend as the rock is very sharp and destroys the soles, its aspect makes it an excellent area for SPA training and/or assessment, great for beginners.
