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.  

8m. Supercedes 'Perfect Weather to Fly'. Where PWtF wimps out right via the flake and groove, The Heart of the Matter ploughs straight on with good gear and a steep hard move to finish. Worthwhile.
