Restricted Access

There are old signs on the approach paths indicating that climbing is not allowed. However the crag is on CRoW designated land and as such climbing is a legally permitted activity.  However, climbers must not climb on, or belay from, the walls of the ruined chapel - this is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument, and any damage to it would be a criminal offence.  Roche Rock is a SSSI for its unique geology and so damage to or removal of rock is not permitted - no fixed gear should be placed here.  

Rockfax Description
The left-hand option is the equal of the original line and better protected. Climb the steep corner right of the wide starting crack of East Chimney and then take the diagonal crack that heads out right to the nose of the buttress. Finish left of the nose. © Rockfax
