Underestimated • Amazing Bouldering in an Overlooked Area

Recently I took a trip down to South Wales where I was lucky enough to be given a tour of some of the best local spots by a strong crew of psyched climbers. This area isn't really known for its bouldering, but hopefully, this video will help put it on the map and encourage others to check it out!

Great insight to the bouldering at South Wales....And what a strong crew featured. It made me smile when I heard Dom's story from transition into climbing from boxing as I also coming from a boxing family and boxed since I was 7!! I've always felt like an outcast amongst the climbing community - so I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one.

Hey guys, great video. I think I may have been the first person to seriously boulder at Kenelgarth and Gower, many years back. There was literally nobody else around. I would have loved to go out with some like-minded people but bouldering wasn't that poplar. Great to see the progression there. I live in Australia now but one day I'll come back to tick some of your easy problems.
