Crispin Cooper: Created page with "Went here last night; it's a worthwhile little boulder, thanks for documenting it. Not quite sure where the eliminate project 10 goes. If it's the same as the 10 in this photo ..."

Went here last night; it's a worthwhile little boulder, thanks for documenting it. Not quite sure where the eliminate project 10 goes. If it's the same as the 10 in this photo http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=190424 pulling over the lip on the triangular pinch, then it's no different in grade to the other roof problems. Or maybe it takes a line further right, in which case it's sickeningly hard. Might be worth matching names/numbers with the ukc page for the boulder. :) --- Crispin

Ogmore-by-Sea - Hardy's Bay: Area 4

2013-06-27T13:03:05Z

Crispin Cooper: rewrote info to match pdf guide

Back to [[Ogmore-by-sea]]

=Description=

This is the area opposite the Daylight Robbery Area but has had a series of rock falls in the last couple of years making the [http://www.swbg.co.uk/pdf/ogmore%20bouldering%20area%204.pdf PDF guide] that was previously published on SWBG out of date. That said it's definitely the best starting point, go download it.

===Additions to the PDF guide===

It seems like the most sensible thing to do with new additions is note them here until the PDF guide is either updated or copied onto this page.

# '''4 (5+ with sit start)''' This is PDF problem 14 started to the right of the arete instead of the left, up the flakeline then move left around the arete to finish.
# '''Robbosite 6a+''' Standing start on jugs to the left of the face, then traverse mid-height past the wet streak to top out. This links problems 16 to 20 in the PDF and would form the middle part of project 25 proposed in the guide. Sequencey. FA C Cooper June 2013 (?)
# '''4+''' Up jugs to a beached whale topout. This turns out to be the same as 22 in the PDF

Ogmore-by-Sea - The Bonus Trench

2013-06-20T13:05:18Z

Crispin Cooper: /* Problems: */

Back to [[Ogmore-by-sea]]

==Description==

As for the Trench; this is the second inlet about 20m to the East of the Trench. Scramble or walk around at low tide. Being considerably wider, it is perhaps quicker drying than the Trench. There is scope for more development.

==Back Wall==

[[Image:bonustrench-backwall.jpg|center]]

===Problems:===

The following problems finish at the break - traverse off or downclimb Problem 1.

#'''f4''' Easy way up/down
#'''Severn Bridge f5''' Wall starting with right hand in the small runnel (chalked in photo); groove higher up
#'''Delamere Leighback f5''' The hanging layback arete can be started any of three ways - from the small runnel, direct by jumping to the jug below, or from the right. The latter is probably harder if you avoid using the runnel as a foothold (f5+?)

There is an interesting looking arete to the left of problem 1.

==West Wall==

The back of the west wall has some clean rock.

#'''f5+? (fluttery)''' Rockover onto the slab then jump for the jugs at the top. Bold.
#'''f6a?''' Layback the arete to the right of the easy runnel, taking care not to hit the rock behind if falling off (spotter recommended).

===Problems:===

#'''Robbed Arete. 6b+/V4''' Start sitting on a sloper and a crimp, then climb the arête, using holds on both sides, and topping out with extreme roundedness. Climbed and named by a raider from North Wales, to try and wind me up. A quality problem with some unique holds and unusual moves.F.A. Drew Withey
##'''Variation- Robbed Arete Super Low. 7b+/V8-9''' If this is too easy try the super low start, which starts from the slot at the back, then moves out to the arête eliminating the wall to the left. The hardest problem in the bay, with only 1 ascent as far as I know. F.A Mick Adams
#'''Daylight Robbery 7b/V8 (unconfirmed)''' The fantastically sculpted obvious traverse line is impossible to ignore. Start semi-sitting at the far left end of the roof (as for the previous problem), using a sideways crimp and a sloper. Pull up with difficulty, then slap out right to gain a huge flat sloper. From here thin moves take you rightwards along the break, until you can swing a heel up on the right and finish with difficulty up Achilles Heel-Hook. Was a 5 year project before it was sent, and is in the guide writer’s opinion one of the best problems in South Wales.F.A Tim Wilkinson (August 09)
#'''Hooby’s Roof 7a+/V7''' A low start on the jugs at the back of the roof leads out leftwards, turning the lip on slopers and finishing directly. Highly rated.F.A Owen McShane (20th Feb 2010)
#'''Hip Hop Paperboi Scandal. 7a+/V7''' Start sitting below the big flat slopey hold in the middle of the traverse, with one hand in the pocket on the lip and the other in the slot at the back of the roof. Pull up, slap out to the sloper, and climb the vague groove above. F.A. Owen McShane
##'''Variation: Fatneck Special. 7b/V8''' Starts as for HHPS, then from the big lip sloper traverse left (reversing the start of DR, to finish up Robbed Arete. FA Owen McShane
##'''Variation: Hooby’s Special 7b/V8''' As for FS, but start as for Hooby’s roof.FA Liam Fyfe
#'''Achilles Heel-Hook.''' 6b+/V4 Start sitting/hanging with an incut edge for your left, and a sloper for your right, then move left until you can swing a heelhook up on the right. Make a difficult move to reach the positive holds at the top.F.A. Rob Sanderson
#'''Hard Graft V8''' Start as for Hooby's Roof reach out with right hand to poor sloper then span leftwards to the arete and hug your way up this. F.A. Rob Lamey/Andy Swan 30th june 2008

Crispin Cooper: /* Areas */

You can check out and actually see what the current weather and tide conditions are like by viewing the webcam shots taken at Ogmore by clicking [http://www.surf-forecast.com/breaks/Ogmore-by-Sea/webcams/latest| here].

==Description==

This area has previously been documented and published and back issues of 'On The Edge'. Issue 28, 'The Trench' by Chris Hamper and more recently issue 103, 'Slippery Grit by the Sea' by Eugene Jones. The diagrams and descriptions in this and linked pages are taken from the above articles except where stated.

The majority of the climbing here is on water worn limestone and "vary in character substantially and in many cases do not reflect limestone climbing in other well known areas such as the Peak, Portland, Pen Trwyn and Pembroke... The Trench is more like Gritstone, with many problems following features such as scoops, grooves and aretes on sloping holds and swears but without the friction of the grit 'up north'. Hence static power and poise are required for success. Don't be conned by the easy looking nature of some of the problems the sea polished nature of the rock adds at least a grade to the Gritstone-like features. Have you ever tried to layback an arete on rock where the surface feels it has as much friction as damp slate? Also beware, copious amounts of chalk can be a disadvantage rather than an advantage. However, landings are generally very good, deep soft sand can break your fall as good as any bouldering mat and hence a car mat or door mat (to keep your feet dry) and a rag are all tools required. It is also advantageous to use a blowtorch to dry out holds when climbing in the winter, but don't worry, its use will not polish the rock because of the water borne sand blasting problems twice a day. Furthermore, don't get despondent if you make a repeat visit to the area only to find that you just cannot get off the ground. The height of the sand relative to the problem can very enormously (as much as 2 meters from one year to the next) and with it the grade, some problems particularly those with sit down starts can even become impossible, so chill out and savour the challenge if you find yourself getting nowhere." OTE issue 103.

==Location==

'''Approach 1.''' If approaching from Cardiff, turn off the M4 at junction 35, taking the exit towards Bridgend. Continue going down the daul carriageway, going straight on at the roundabouts (follow sign to porthcawl) until you pass Mcdonalds on your right. Turn left at the next roundabout and follow signs towards Ogmore-by-sea. Parking is possible in the car parks marked on the map above. Although the car park by the Estuary is a 'Pay and Display'.
