Access Banned

Access to this site remains a contentious issue - despite repeated requests to the landowner for an access aggrement for climbers. Following a non-climbing fatality in 2003, the landowner remains concerned with insurance and liability issues and occasionally patrols the site - be prepared for being asked to leave.

Work has begun on the site development.  Gates are in place at both main entrances to Cooks Wood and Bector Wood Quarries.  Security guards prevent climbers, (and others) from entering either Quarry.  The police have been involved when local youth pressed for entry to the pool side.

Climbing therefore is no longer a practical possibility at Holcombe.

Fantastic slab in the far corner, easy moves up on to the slab, where the fun then begins in earnest4th-5th bolt finger pocket to crimp and undercut with smearing nice and balancy. The climb seems to constantly be in the sun and takes a great line over the slab. For the tick avoid the crack at the top after the crimp and undercut and instead traverse left on the slab.
