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.

βeta: I think the route described as \"Kick the Hobbit\" (given E2 5b) in the New Climbs supplement at the back of the 2004 Avon and Cheddar guide \"Climb the wall a metre or so left of the crack of The Hobbit\" is the same as The Magpie (described in the 1992 Avon and Cheddar guide but omitted from later guides) \"Climb the wall left of The Hobbit\" and given E1 5a. I think the latter grade is correct if you finish up The Hobbit. If you move left and finish up Scrambling Remains then it makes it E1 5b overall - the top section of SR is well-protected 5b. | βeta? | |
