Description

The following description is from the PDF's that are on the porthcawl overview page.

A small area located at beach level about 70m east from the previous area. Its main attractions are at the month of a smooth inlet. The bouldering here involves the use of smooth rounded holds. Both sides of the inlet are climbed on. One side smooth and overhanging and the other side being smooth and vertical. The walls are again short (8ft-12ft) with problems ranging from VB to V3.

Problems:

2. V1 Sitting start on obvious jug in the break and make a long reach on smears up to pocket and chipped edge. TOF.
3. V1 Sitting start on a jug in the break, move up to a side pull just above the break and move out left to share, and continue to move left to the aforemenioned chipped hold. TOF.
4. V1 Layaway up the outer seam in the funnel.
5. V0+ Sitting start on a jub in the break, move up to an easy pinch and TOF.
