Restricted Access
High Tor is managed by Derbyshire Dales District Council (DDDC) and there is a regular wardening service in operation. There are no major access problems at High Tor, but climbers should take careful note of the following agreed guidelines:
- With the exception of the tree at the top of Castellan, do not abseil from trees at the top.
- Please walk down using the well established paths and don't cut corners.
- When belaying above Darius/Robert Brown please use natural belays, stakes or in-situ pegs rather than the safety sign or the fence - the area is a popular look-out spot with the general public and ropes can cause a trip hazard.
- Do not cut or prune crag top shrubs or trees as these are relied on as a natural barrier to keep visitors back from the edge
Seasonal Restrictions
Reason: Nesting Birds
High Tor is a SSSI of extremely high botanical value with some very rare grasses and plants located around the crag. Climbers are requested to be especially careful not to trample grass at the base of the crag and to stick to the established paths so as not to damage plants on the wooded approaches.
Rockfax Description
A desperate eliminate that finishes at the Debauchery ledge. Follow Lyme Cryme to the bulge and pull through as for Brompton's Cocktail. Climb up trending right to gain a shield of rock on Robert Brown. Traverse left and make hard moves to gain a hidden jug. Haul up and climb easier ground to join Delicatessen and finish on the Debauchery ledge. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Follow Lyme Cryme to the bulge and pull through as for Brompton's Cocktail. Climb up trending right to gain a shield of rock on Robert Brown. Traverse left past an obvious pocket and make hard moves to gain a hidden jug. Haul up and climb easier ground to join Delicatessen and finish on the Debauchery ledge. Cruxy on good rock with ok pro.

βeta: Tony Stone (Tony-S). Curious that you’ve put this in the hybrids and link ups section but not other similarly eliminate routes such as Party in the Park, Aegis, Reproduction, Supersonic, Grimsvotn and Tumbril. Now why would that be then? | βeta? | |
