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.

12m. No description has been contributed for this climb.

βeta: Looks like the block that the anchor tat was around has fallen away in the last couple of weeks as there is still a vertical slice of compacted mud that hasn\'t been washed away yet. In May, Paulos87 logged Esgaroth and described the tat as \"around a fairly suspect block\" but it is now an oversized loop of rope around just the tree, no rock.
