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.  

10m.

UKC Logbook Description
An excellent independent line with bouldery moves, a distinct crux and no gear, which climbs the right arete of the blunt buttress left of Easy Chimney. Swing out onto the face, where holds on the left allow committing moves back right onto and up the arete.
