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.

Left corner of Orthanc. Climb up left of flake into the coner then up to a block belay.

βeta: The whole route is now very loose, I'm not a fan of choss, but if you are then I'm sure you'll enjoy. Apparently the top abseil is about to go (including the rock it is on) and the half way tree is pretty poor.

βeta: There's a large loose block about halfway up, looks like it's ready to go.

βeta: Lots of vegetation, soil and loose rock, but a couple of really good moves. Ignore the bad and enjoy the good
