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.
Rockfax Description
Start 8m right of the huge flake. Head up twin thin cracks to a break from where a good hold above aids a move right to reach a slim right-facing flake crack. Nip up this to an easing and follow a crack to a final roof. Move right and pull directly over the roof to finish. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Climb cracks to a resting place at 4m where they end. Swing right to a hanging flake and motor up this to jugs and ledges. finish over a small overhang.

βeta: This is best done on 2 ropes, and needs attentive belaying - I've seen a real ground-sweeper from the flake. There's a bomber wire at the top of the first crack, but once you get to the flake it's pretty distant, and very strenuous to place more. | ||
