Pembroke rock climbing photograph – Heart of Darkness, HVS 5a

Pembroke rock climbing photograph – Heart of Darkness, HVS 5a

The photograph shows Sam Brown on the classic traverse of “Heart of Darkness, HVS 5a” at Mowingword in South Pembroke. The first pitch of Heart of Darkness is a big traverse across a 30m face. Though not technically hard, it is intimidating with a serious feel for both the leader and second.

The photograph was taken by Emma Alsford, who is the author of the Wired Pembroke Rock Climbing Guidebook that is available to buy from our shop.

This photograph appears in an article called “Magic of Pembroke”, written by Emma Alsford that offers ten good reasons to visit Pembroke. Read on…
