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.

βeta: FYI. pulled out one of the pitons from above the crux roof whilst lowering off. There's another piton about a foot and a half above it but beware that one is now missing. Could protect the break with a small nut or friend.

βeta: The short abseil down to the ledge had 2 bolts on the floor but no hangers on them, we used the 2 pegs in the wall instead (nut backup). We abbed and pulled the rope but meant we had to do a 5m easy trad lead out. Short spare rope (static if possible) would have been useful but not required (could have also abbed to the floor at the end but would have had to walk back round to get the ab station gear). We used the nut placement in the flake/block, extended. Climbing is easy but runout on that section. Rest of the route has really friendly bolting. Bringing a few slings and biners is useful, as well as quite a few spare quickdraws (we extended quite a few and the spares were helpful to clip our stuff in on the ledge).
