Coed-Ely (Gladys Quarry)

South East Wales

A small, west-facing quarry that gets the evening sun.The main attraction is the handful of bolted routes from F6a+ to F7a.The crag dries quickly; seeps little. Rebolted 2008.

The crag is on private land, is not on land mapped or designated open access and is not accessible by any public rights of way. The landowners make it clear that they do not allow access for climbing and any climbers seen here by them will be asked to leave. They have experienced damage around fences due to climbers and are not currently interested in discussing access.
