Restricted Access

The bouldering at Anston Stones Wood all takes place on land owned by Anston Parish Council. To preserve the good relationship that climbers have with the Parish Council, The British Mountaineering Council have agreed the following guidelines which we ask all climbers to adhere to:

  • Stick to existing footpaths and firm ground, avoid trampling on vegetation
  • Pick up any litter you come across
  • Stay off the railway line
  • Climb only on areas that have already been developed (i.e. Woody’s Rock, the Wave area, Rocky Valley, Hidden Wall, Apprentice Wall, Dukes Wall, Through Post, and Frodo buttress.)

In addition to the above, avoid topping out where possible.

Rockfax Description
A popular problem, maybe because it is on some of the nicest rock here, which the shoe rubber attests to. From a sit-start with a pair of prominent holds on the right - usually heavily chalked - work left along the lip to finish up the bulge. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Sit start cross handed on far right side of buttress. Traverse left staying low on edges on the lip and finish up the vague arete.
