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.
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.

βeta: No abseil tat any more on tree beard. Probably for good reason (just look at the roots). Also no tat on the ill looking ash above it. The whitebeam above that is alive and well rooted and might be tat-worthy. But might just be easier to ab off the chunky tree with good tat a 10m shuffle to the left (looking into the crag) in stead. | βeta? | |

βeta: Just above the bushy ledge there is a wobbly hold ~5kg. It looks like the obvious hand/foot hold and crack down the side has been well worn by gear. Had a quick go at removing it but it seems to be wedged. Just go easy on it and I wouldn't use it for protection. The next obvious hold after this is also wobbly and the topout of all these routes right of Necromancer is gradually collapsing. | βeta? | |
