Restricted Access
There are old signs on the approach paths indicating that climbing is not allowed. However the crag is on CRoW designated land and as such climbing is a legally permitted activity. However, climbers must not climb on, or belay from, the walls of the ruined chapel - this is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument, and any damage to it would be a criminal offence. Roche Rock is a SSSI for its unique geology and so damage to or removal of rock is not permitted - no fixed gear should be placed here.
12m.
To the west of the main crag is West Crag. Walking towards it takes you up to its north-east corner. The route faces you as you approach.
Climb the slightly overhanging broken crack for a tricky start, then move up onto the unprotected slab above. An alternative 4c start takes the narrow wall immediately to the left of the crack.
