Easy to find and close to Mumbles, Limeslade has a fantastic little craglet that offers a nice range of problems, mostly in the lower grades. The landings are on pebble beach so a mat is useful to take the sting out of them, though spotters aren't needed. The beach is covered at very high tide but accessible for the rest of the time and mostly quick drying, though a few streaks can hang around in cold/damp weather.

Access is straightforward, park on Plunch lane if there is no space in front of Forte's Ice Cream Parlour, walk down the steps and rock hop leftwards (looking out ) for 50m or so until you see the crag.

main area

Despite no strong lines there are plenty of pleasant straight-ups in the V0-1 range - be careful in the centre though as the crag gets a little high. There are a couple of trickier problems just to the right of the bulb (left image), around about V2, unfortunately they take a bit of seepage.

the bulb

The Bulb juts out prominently on the left hand side of the crag and gives a couple of good hang/sit starts. Friction is rubbish and the many pockets range from sinkers to slight dents. The top-out is invariably a desperate grovel!

The best two lines revolve around the obvious low sloper, either using it for hands and finishing off up right, or for feet and finishing up and left, both around V5, both from a sit/hang start. There are some sinker pockets under the roof to help with the sit starts.

One project is to start right in the back of the cave (no bridging) and traverse low along the bulb til it is possible to top out. Very hard and the holds invariable need a really good dry out before any attempt.
