Hi all,

Heading to Gower soon, and looking to pick up some quickdraws before I go. I'm just wondering how many I'm likely to need for the easier (maybe up to 6b?) routes, so that I'm not purchasing/carrying vastly too many or too few.

Thanks in advance

You have a guide book?

The 2012 edition of Gower Climbing - no mention of bolt numbers I could find, but that doesn't mean I'm not looking in the wrong place

Bolts are usually approx every 2 meters. Should be able to calculate roughly based on route length but 16-18 should be enough for most routes up to 30 meters. Though personally I always prefer to air on the side of caution and figure the more the better when it comes to things like quickdraws seeing as they weigh so little.
