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.

18m.

Rockfax Description
On the far left margin of the crag is an eye-catching slim corner. Start next to the huge flake at the base of the crag. Gain the corner and then climb its left wall passing to the left of the mid-height overhang and past two saplings to easy ground. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The striking groove at the left end of Owl rock.
If you prefer head up past first two trees for a larger more secure tree and lower off.

βeta: Some cordelette and a quicklink left on the yew tree a few metres from the top. Backed it up with a sling but seemed to be bomber without it, at least for abseiling

βeta: There is a good belay/ab point on a yew tree a few metres up from the top. Do not use the new-looking tat on the small dead ash tree!

βeta: Polished but all the moves are there. Good gear, take your small nuts and climb up to a surprisingly small belay tree.

βeta: Pretty sure the tree belay at the top is an ash tree. Ash dieback is expected to kill 80% of ash trees in the UK. It seems in good health at the moment but be mindful if using it for abseiling as it's a single point of failure
