Having got my sendgeance on Anonymous Bosch, we moved a couple of routes down to this thin, balancy-looking corner to step things up a notch. To be honest I wasn't actually expecting to onsight this, but was super-chuffed to get the send. Definitely a lot of try-hard and sheer bloody-mindedness to keep going towards the top, which I am also quite proud of. Surprisingly for me, my inner monologue didn't break and I didn't start talking and swearing at myself... Maybe because of all the helpful encouragement from Jeremy Donaldson that I was vaguely aware of in the background :-) Thanks also to Robin James for the patience watching us try this stuff after he broke himself...

Sooo… Ended up back at Watchhouse slab with top geezers @Jeremy & @Robin. Inevitably, I introduced Jeremy to "Anonymous Bosch". For anyone following along, you'll remember it spat me off at the crux last time before I worked out how to do it, so I was after sendgeance. Unfortunately, my memory was kinda faulty so I well messed up the crux first go following Jeremy's beta instead of my own. On the up-side, my mojo was stronger this time, as was my shoulder, so things were looking up for the second try of the day once the brain had been jogged. Great route, fun moves and good catches from Jeremy.

"Oh, no! The sea! Run away!"... "...But not TOO far; just round the corner where it can catch us easily should do..."
At least Castaway Cove itself doesn't flood quickly in the tide, but on the other hand we did have to paddle out again round the corner - fun when there's swirling sand and one fairly narrow strip that's merely calf-deep when the rest is at least knee-deep. Totally worth it for this banging route, though, and probably the most picturesque cove of Rhossili beach.

Rhossili beach is such a fun venue: Sharp barnacles for the first 4 meters of every climb, slippery, salt air rock, potentially corroded protection, slogging over sand to get there, limited time to climb, and a very real chance of being stranded or swept out to sea... What's not to like? Seriously, though, it's an epic location with some great climbs and it's even better with a fun bunch. I thought this one would be a fun challenge for said bunch to try - arete climbing being a style not seen that much in the gym - and thoroughly enjoyed it myself.

This super ridge walk on Rhossili Down gives you fabulous views over Rhossili Bay and Worms Head to one side and over virtually the whole #Gower Peninsula on the other.

The remaining stones of the chamber of Sweyne's Howes (North) chambered tomb on the slopes below Rhossili Down, Gŵyr/Gower for #StandingStoneSunday. There are two tombs here, as well as many Bronze Age cairns and a prehistoric settlement.
This visit March 2012.

Worms Head at Rhossili, Gower from a trip earlier this year. A fantastic if technically difficult walk that can be done at low tide. 🌊🌊🥾🥾

Fantastic circular walk as part of the Gower Walking Festival around Whiteford Sands, including Whiteford Lighthouse - the only cast-iron lighthouse in Britain. Stunning weather and views across Pembrey, Cefn Sidan and Tenby. Looking forward to signing up for next year! #Gower #WhitefordSands #Pembrey #CefnSidan #Wales #Cymru #Tenby #WalkingFestival #BigSkies
