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.
The route has seen heavy usage, assumed top roping.
Make an awkward start by the two short cracks.
Move up, then right at the big ledge as far as the corner then continue up to top.
Note: this might be the first recorded ascent, not the First ascent.

βeta: Following the route further to the right, next to the crux there is a flake of rock that moved slightly after removing a No. 1 Torque hex. (DMM) Lots of small pieces of broken glass around the bottom of the crag, take care changing shoes or walking in rock shoes. Using a car floor mat and rope bag helped. | ||
