Restricted Access

Fly Wall and Woodcroft Quarry: the current owners have not given permission to climb on this section of crag. If you do climb on this part of the crag, please be careful not to damage any fences in the area.

GO Wall: topping out now allowed year round for all routes from Feline/Jackal leftwards. King Kong ab. bolts removed. No topping out any time for right hand end – ab. stations in place where required. A large rockfall has recently (Jan 2013) been reported at the righthand side of the Pedestal on Go Wall - care should be taken with any remaining loose rock that may still be in place in this area.

North Wall: following a change of ownership of the house above this section of crag, the previous arrangement to exit through it’s garden is not longer possible. Please do not top out on any North Wall routes - only abseil descent from below the top of the crag is allowed. For those who don't wan't to climb above the Great Ledge, an abseil descent can be made from one of the two bolted abseil stations above The Tap or Joe’s Route. Two further abseil stations have been established just below the top of North Wall (using rope slings and rings around trees) allowing the last pitch of the more popular routes to be climbed and an abseil descent to the Great Ledge be made. 

All rock north of the North Buttress and south of Fly Wall is privately owned and all climbing is prohibited.

Rockfax Description
A popular two pitch route on solid rock that features some exposed ground towards the top. Start at a bolted belay.
1) 3b, 9m. A short pitch to big ledge and a bolted belay.
2) 6a+, 20m. Attain the ledge above the belay and then move up to a grey wall. Climb the wall and corner on its left, and then go up and right to a ledge on the rib. The wall above ends at a lower-off. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Some good climbing up clean solid rock leads to an airy finish. Good value. Start at a double bolt belay 15m left of Back on the Game approached via easy exposed ledges (in-situ double hand-line for reassurance and security).
1 10m F3 [2B] Take a direct line up the centre of the entry pedestal to reach an open platform. Double ring abseil station.
2 20m F6a+ [9B] Pull up onto the ledge immediately above the platform then continue easily on big holds until beneath the bare gray wall. Now take a direct line up the wall utilizing the corner crack before making some technical moves up right to gain a comfy rest ledge. Some final trickiness leads directly to the double ring abseil station.
