Tynant Bridge

From South Wales Bouldering Guide Wiki

Description

An old railway bridge with four cracks at the corners varying from finger to hand jam sized cracks. One side you climb right above the pavement so spotters are highly recommended to stop you from falling into the road, the other side can be climbed safer but still spotters recommended. The problems are 4 meters high so a bouldering mat would be recommended to soften the fall.
