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.

28m. A long "adventure" pitch on the recently cleaned buttress 20m right of Pearl. The climbing is not hard, but some of the rock should be handled with care (hence the HS grade). Start left of a chimney, at a short, wide crack. Climb the crack to a tree; then climb the left-leaning, slabby rib above. Continue in the same line to easy ground, and belay on yew trees up and left. Abseil from here, or carefully scramble around the trees and descend the gully on the right (facing in).
