Restricted Access

Fly Wall and Woodcroft Quarry: the current owners have not given permission to climb on this section of crag. If you do climb on this part of the crag, please be careful not to damage any fences in the area.

GO Wall: topping out now allowed year round for all routes from Feline/Jackal leftwards. King Kong ab. bolts removed. No topping out any time for right hand end – ab. stations in place where required. A large rockfall has recently (Jan 2013) been reported at the righthand side of the Pedestal on Go Wall - care should be taken with any remaining loose rock that may still be in place in this area.

North Wall: following a change of ownership of the house above this section of crag, the previous arrangement to exit through it’s garden is not longer possible. Please do not top out on any North Wall routes - only abseil descent from below the top of the crag is allowed. For those who don't wan't to climb above the Great Ledge, an abseil descent can be made from one of the two bolted abseil stations above The Tap or Joe’s Route. Two further abseil stations have been established just below the top of North Wall (using rope slings and rings around trees) allowing the last pitch of the more popular routes to be climbed and an abseil descent to the Great Ledge be made. 

All rock north of the North Buttress and south of Fly Wall is privately owned and all climbing is prohibited.

Rockfax Description
Start at a bolted line just left of a small white groove. Head up to below the third bolt and then make a high step up and right to small holds right of the bolts. Finish at the lower-off just up and left of the small roof above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Short bolt line on the East-facing wall of Woodcroft Quarry.

Steep but very well bolted, interesting rockover after the second clip. Blind jug up on the right allows you to reach the small ledge. Very short traverse back left to the top out.

βeta: Took a spanner up and tightened the three loose bolts. The second bolt seems to be bottomed out so wouldn't really tighten but the other two should be good for a while (I think that the nature of how the penultimate hanger sits, it will gradually loosen itself again). Everyone should have a 17mm/19mm spanner on their rack!

βeta: Bolts 2 and 5 were loose, tried to tighten but the nut was moving with the bolt so the whole thing must be spinning in the hole. Same on both
