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.

Climb up past two bolts to big holds under the roof (staple on the right). Clip a bolt in the roof and use a obvious hole in the roof to clip a sling which dangles over the lip. Cross the roof to holds just over the lip and make a hard move to good holds a fair way above. Step left, clip an old 8mm bold and finish up a steep groove.
