Church Rock Sea Stack - Pembroke by Bald Eagle

An esoteric but most excellent adventure to the alluring Church Rock sea stack near Bosherston in Pembroke using an incongruous armada of sea vessels. Much to our suprise the stack was duly reached and no-one drowned, drifted half-way to America or required rescuing by a Sea King taxi. Consequently the photogenic "crag classic" VS called "Man Underboard" was climbed and filmed before putting up 3 new routes so happy daze! :-)

Of the routes we climbed "Man Underboard" is the one that seemed least likely to end up landing on the belayer.

The 'super classic' route on Mowing Word is called Heart of Darkness, not Heart of the Sun.

Another great video, keep them coming. A few years ago I swam out to Church Rock out of interest to see if there were any good lines on it. I had no idea that there were actually some routes ! I had to make a hasty retreat though as some cormorants were dive bombing my head...
