Traditional climbing remains the main focus with the classic crags, Carey-y-Barcud, Porthclais, and Caerfai rightly taking pride of place, although St David\u2019s Head is now given the prominence it deserves. For something different, inland crags make a first appearance with some good bouldering available \u2013 the northern crags being reminiscent of Peaks. Anyone prepared to trade a crash pad for a wetter landing will find DWS with some premier areas including Barrel Zawn but also some new crags including Crag yAfr \u2013 home to the worst puns in climbing. To cap it all there are even some sport routes!<\/p>\n
The author, Steve Quinton, has done an outstanding job \u2013 if it looks like a crag, he\u2019s been there \u2013 stellar or choss. The descriptions of the great, the bad, and the ugly are all lovingly documented with a wry understatement.<\/p>\n
If the script and topos don\u2019t inspire you, the photos will hopefully tempt you out of that armchair and onto the crag. If you decide to venture out, the maps and approach shots will aid you on the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pembroke Vol 1 North climbing guidebook covers the classic crags, Carey-y-Barcud, Porthclais, and Caerfa","protected":false},"featured_media":4486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"wds_primary_brand":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[93],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-818","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-guide-book","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=818"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=818"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.depotclimbing.co.uk\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
