The SWBF exist to raise funds to pay for new bolts to improve existing sport climbing places in South Wales and the Valleys. We work with British Mountaineering Council (BMC) to improve access and safety at crags. Saftey First- Always remember that you are responsible for your own saftey and those around you when climbing outside, your not at the wall now. When your at a crag or route, if you don't like the look of it, give it a miss, there are no medals for winding up in hospital! Access- If your asked to leave crag by the landowner, please respect thier wishes and report it to the BMC area officer. Just because climbs exist and are recorded there does not automatically give you the right to use them. So remember, park appropriatly and with consideration for others, don't leave litter and behave responsibly to prevent objections. Find latest crags with upgraded bolts, cleaning and new route activity are in topos on our topo page. NEWS, Gower Climbing Festival www.gowerclimbingfestival.co.uk 9th to 11th sept.
