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.

Excellent and imposing line up the middle of the Right Intrinsica Wall. Climb the flake to two good layaways, gain composure and commence a series of extending and powerful reaches. One large final egyptian marks the end of the crux sequence just before the route starts to overhang. Blast up the leaning headwall to the belay. Be warned, there is one last awkward move before the belay ... Dont fluff it!
