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.

A worthwhile traverse of the Arkenstone. Start up the wide cracks at the far left hand end of the buttress before traversing rightwards above the crux of Pippin to join the sloping ledges of Disaster Area. Move around the crack of Esgaroth and to its post-crux Jug, where interesting moves across the slab reach the Crack and tree. Continue above before trending leftwards along the tree routes and finish.
