Ogmore Bouldering
BOULDERING On the far East Ogmore cliffs just before Southerndown beach is a prominent rectangular buttress which is west facing and has a crackline going direct up the center. The route is roughly 8m long and above it the cliff is loose and chossy.There are numerous other short walls/overhangs/long traveses extending all the way to the causeway at Southerndown.There are numerous problems done over the last 3 decades awaiting re-discovery.A top bouldering venue for those wanting stamina .
1. The Timely Trick - E1,5c
Direct up the centre of the prominent rectangular west facing buttress. Straight up juggy rock then a big move to a horizontal crack. 0.3 Camalot here. continue straight up the buttress using small slopey holds emulating from the thin crack. Reach for the top to a good mantle.

Addendum (time indeed plays tricks, done as boulder problems/solos in 1985 along with the 2 lines either side by Graham Royle, Roy Thomas, Mick Learoyd,Eugene Jones.)
There is some steep bouldering not far from the beach at Southerndown which may prove useful if waiting for the tide to turn. Have a look at the Bouldering_in_Bridgend_area page.
