Restricted Access

Ownership of the combe is divided between Avon Wildlife Trust (who own the eastern section) and the charitable trust Groundworks South (who own the western section where the majority of the crags are located). The Landowner does not allow climbing on the crags. If climbers do decide to visit and are asked to leave by Groundworks staff, they should do so politely and as quickly as is safely possible.

Be aware that there are frequently loose blocks at the top of the smaller buttresses - a cautious approach is advised. As with any crag, climbing here is an activity with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.  

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 15 February to 15 May

Reason: Nesting Birds

Ravens are nesting on Eagle Rock - the buttress should be avoided until the signs are removed.

25m. The Beautiful Steep white wall. One peg placed in 1984, may or may not still be there - apparently this was in the upper headwall?? Dodgey old ring peg low down REPLACED APRIL 2014 (although this peg was in place long before the route was climbed - maybe it was for a traverse?).

βeta: No peg in the upper headwall. There is sufficient gear below and on the lip for it to be safe

βeta: Rock fall on the last head wall (not the crux head wall) before reaching the tree belay. Rock spat out at me as I tried to gain height. You cant miss it.
