Situated just east of Langland Bay, this venue provides steep bouldering on immaculate rock, with good landings. Approach from either Langland, or via a crumbling old building at the back of the bay. The climbing is on the West side of the bay. The Caswell bus passes close by. Affected by high tides.

==Description==

The following have be provided by Chris Wyatt. Thanks. Apologies for taking so long to publish, got lost in my email archives.

For Rotherslade there are a number of good problems on the Tor itself. (just next to the area in the guide) hopefully the diagram below will point them out once you are there. There are a whole bunch of problems east of here, some really good.

On the Swansea bay front there is a foot bridge passing over the Oystermonth Road offering some excellent buildering and several extended problems to the top of the bridge structure, although it's recommended that a top rope be used provided the railings give adequate anchors but I'll leave this down to the individuals decision. The majority of the problems are on the shore side of the bridge with the best of landings, nice soft sand. Access: Just out of range of the highest spring tides and on the public beach, so no problems with access at all.

There are more routes on the roadside of the bridge but these tend to be dirty and confined. Also, must scope for development of routes on the bridge structure on the other side of the road.

Grading: The grades of the routes are unknown (both boulder and lead are all unconfirmed, verification is needed). Some of the problems have been graded but verification is still needed.

#'''Two small turrets'''

==Location==

Situated in Swansea at the end of St. Helens Road, where it joins Mumbles Road/Oystermonth Road by the beach. From the bridge top you should be able to see the Town Hall and the Patti Pavillion.

==Swansea Bay - The Bridge==

From the beach side, the routes are lettered then numbered from west to east (left to right as you look at it). Many will be chalked up already, as the soft sand landing is popular with locals. Problems highlighted in bold are recommended. Problems recommended by Stere Merchant.

This page was provided by Steve.J. Merchant. Nice one mat! And the problems on the pillers marked by &quot;Face only&quot; were have been graded by Andre Manuzio.

==Swansea Bay - Turrets==

[[Image:Swansea_bay_turrets.jpg‎|center]]

Andre Manuzio has found a new area located not far from the bridge which holds two small turrets, providing plenty of climbing on big holds. Pictured below is a photo of one of the turrets. Due to Andre returning to Italy he was unable to document any of the problems here so if any of you out there could document the problems and send them into me I would be very grateful. As I won't be able to go there myself because of a bouldering accident I've had, and managed to brake my angle and severely bruised the other foot.
