11m. Just right of Easter Rising is a diagonal right-to-left crack. Previously fully bolted, for some reason a disgruntled climber has removed the hangars and hammered the bolts in. So, bring your trad gear for the crack, but use the nearby lower-off of Easter Rising to avoid the potentially fatal top-out through the rubble to a dubious belay block on the right.

βeta: Not bolted, do not confuse with Easter Rising. The hammered in bolt-stubs are still visible on this route.

βeta: The existence of this magnificent trad line had escaped my attention, hence the bolts. Thank goodness it has now been returned to perfection. No doubt it will prove as popular as ever. Surely a candidate for one of the best routes of this grade on Gower. The section on rock is not very good but the grass and soil above is wonderful.
