Warm greetings SuperTopoists from a cold but sunny day in the UK!
Ever rapped off a buoy? Yep that's right one of those flotation devices normally found anchored in the sea?
Here's a wee vid of a clamber up the striking and photogenic Pen y Holt sea stack in Range West, Pembroke in Wales. Appearing to lean in all directions and situated on a friendly platform, Pen y Holt stack was first climbed in 1980 and offers ascents for most abilities. Along with the "adventurous" approach and excellent summit views, the stack makes a well worthwhile excursion for competent teams!
Range West is home to acres of superb climbing for all grades, for which the lower grades are particularly well represented. However Range West is on MOD land (hence no drone footage) and if you wish to climb here, you must attend a briefing at Castlemartin Army Camp for which the 2019 briefing dates should be released via the BMC very soon.
Featuring the beautiful walk in (bikes highly recommended), fun but "adventurous" approach (low spring tides essential), bobbing seals, some eye-popping exposure and after the end credits that rather interesting abseil...

All constructive feedback welcome, please feel free to share and hopefully it will brighten up your lunch or tea break with a brew and biscuit!
Merry Xmas and happy climbing! :-)
