Restricted Access
The north side of the Gorge is predominantly owned by the National Trust and mapped as Open Access land under the CRoW Act which give a right of access for climbers to use these crags all year. The Cheddar Gorge Access Map gives full details of climbing access throughout the Gorge.
The map references the latest guide to the Gorge - 'Cheddar Gorge Climbs' (M. Crocker, 2015), which has details of the popular crags on the north side and definitive details of restored routes on the south side. It is available from The Gorge Outdoors shop in Cheddar village, as well as other climbing and outdoor shops in the area.

βeta: No way is this 7b+. A hold must have broken because from the good ledge its a 7A+/7B boulder which is more akin to a 7c+/8a route. Not saying it's 8a but it's at least 7c. Interested to see what the next ascentionists think. | βeta? | |
