Ownership of the combe is divided between Avon Wildlife Trust (who own the eastern section) and the charitable trust Groundworks South (who own the western section where the majority of the crags are located). The Landowner does not allow climbing on the crags. If climbers do decide to visit and are asked to leave by Groundworks staff, they should do so politely and as quickly as is safely possible.
Be aware that there are frequently loose blocks at the top of the smaller buttresses - a cautious approach is advised. As with any crag, climbing here is an activity with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.
Dates: 15 February to 15 May
Reason: Nesting Birds
Ravens are nesting on Eagle Rock - the buttress should be avoided until the signs are removed.
Rockfax Description
A protectable finger crack midway is the highlight of this pitch. On the far left of the crag is a tall section of rock with a large crack on its left. Head up the wide crack and take the right-hand branch of the two similar looking lines on the wall above. © Rockfax

βeta: Quite a lot of detached rock near the top after the crux. Agree that this and Shagrat are both E1 5b. A little stiff but not too bad. A tree-tat abseil point can be found wandering rightwards (looking in) and slightly downwards about 20m. | βeta? | |
