There are belay-bolts in above most of the popular climbs. For routes not equiped with bolts, climbers should use a second rope to belay on the trees a short distance back from the edge. The crag is owned by the Tunbridge Wells Commons Conservators and the the rocks are part of the Rusthall Common geological SSSI due to their rock formation and natural erosion features. Local BMC volunteers contributed a significant amount of work on the vegetation clearance project to address overgrown areas. This was very successful and the results can be seen at - http://www.sandstonevolunteers.nildram.co.uk/index.html
Rockfax Description
Probably best described as 'Conway's Arete'. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Newman's Arête is between Conway's Butress (right) and Conway's Variation (left)
Start on Pedestal facing Greenish Slab, A tricky manouevre up the slab includes pinch grips. Once done, move onto the pronounced arête directly above and climb direct up the arête. Finish off on top of the arête ignoring the finish of Conway's Variation.
Won't be in the Southern Sandstone book. But i have submitted the new route to climbers club.
