There has not been much to report recently, as I have only just got back to Cardiff after spending a week at home. Now to start climbing properly again! I went for a quick reconnoissance up behind Castell Coch to see if there was any possible bouldering problems in the caves up in the woods. I found two caves, both just off the main path that leads up through the hills behind the castle. The first one was huge and there seemed like the possibility of a good, but hard route up the left hand side of the opening (picture below). It would also probably need a lower put in place as the top was pretty mud filled. It also seemed like a deep (well hardly) water solo could be worked traversing around and over the cave opening. Luckily the highest point of the traverse corresponds with the deepest part of the water, probably a little over 2 meters. Any brave volunteers?
(Cave One)
The next cave was useless and I could see no possibility of working any routes there. It is a shame as I was hoping to find a difficult roof problem to start as a boulder project! Nevermind.
(Cave Two)
Hopefully tomorrow I can start getting back into a regular climbing pattern, starting with some tries of hard sports routes at Taffs Well!
