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.  

14m.

Rockfax Description
An unconventional start! Climb up the ladder and, at its top, traverse left past a tricky move to a crack heading back up right. Oxford Direct, VD - Direct up the face to the crack - no ladder! © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Traverse left from the top of the ladder around an awkward bulge. Finish up a crack which slants back to the right.
