Resumen

Popular block with great routes on all sides. Remains in good condition year-round as it is south facing.

Descripción

One of the most renowned isolated blocks on southern sandstone due to having fantastic routes on all sides. Behind the block lies a slender corridor that merits exploration during warm days, or when the front walls are crowded.

Restricciones heredado de Harrison's Rocks

Harrison's Rocks is owned by climbers and is managed on their behalf by the British Mountaineering Council with funding from the English Sports Council. Car Parking is Pay and Display. If approaching from the train station, do not trespass the private property to get to zig-zag wall, instead follow the path to the left.

Acceso

The buttress is situated to the right of the Isolated Walls and is accessible via either one of the lower trails. The most straightforward route is via the upper path, which leads downward to the right of Grant's Wall.

Ética heredado de Harrison's Rocks

The Sandstone is very soft -- leading is not allowed. Most climbs are top-roped, and ropes should be extended over the edge and set up in a way such as to minimize the wear on the rock. Top-out and down-climb is preferred to lowering. Abseiling is, also, forbidden.

From the slender second break on the Northwest Corner, make your way horizontally across the face. Conclude as for South West Corner, making use of the right-hand arete if necessary.

An eliminate climb up the face that excludes the use of holds from neighboring routes.

A finger-intensive start, progressing towards a horizontal ledge situated at the wall’s midpoint. Then, extend your reach to secure the generously sized upper ledge, with an easier finish above.

Dyno between the breaks of Woolly Bear

Start as for Woolly Bear, but navigate right to bypass the crux, and then utilise a small, stiff hold to ascend to the higher ledge. Traverse back left and conclude as for the original.

Direct variation of Woolly Cub. Begin by moving left from the boulder, then proceed to ascend the face of the climb. Avoid holds on Woolly Bear and the arete on the right side.

Initiate the climb just right of the arete and ascend to a point just beneath the massive overhang. Execute a bold traverse leftwards to the wall's centre, then complete as for Woolly Bear.

A finish that is more straightforward and daring to West Wall. May occasionally be wet and covered with vegetation.

Variation to Isolated Buttress Climb - ascend straight up the middle of the wall towards the overhang, then traverse rightwards to finish.

Follow West Wall to a position just beneath the overhang. Then, move outward into the open space and ascend following the indistinct groove. Utilising a high heel-toe and a demanding knee move will enable you to conquer the wall above.

Swiftly ascend from the wall's centre, angling upwards and to the right, to scale the smoothly curved arete. A historical route - one of the first to be documented on sandstone.

A challenging, direct beginning to the prominent arete on Isolated Buttress Climb.

A strict eliminate that demands considerable self-control to refrain from utilising holds on nearby routes.

A robust ascent along a widened fissure, with a challenging finger-jam required at the halfway point. Shift right to finish as for Diversion, or go directly.

A direct ascent above the lower fissure to reach the finish.

A direct variation of Diversion, utilising the right side of the fissure on Edward's Effort specifically for the left hand placement. For the entire experience, finish as for Edward's Effort Direct. However, there is an option to traverse rightwards.

Position yourself to the right of the recess and move horizontally for a few metres, then ascend directly to secure a well-angled grip. Finish direct.

A precise ascent through the slim space separating the two Birchden routes, culminating with a challenging finish over the overhangs above.

Begin ascending the arete and make a leftward move just past the second interruption to proceed vertically up the wall.

Maybe the best route on this wall, characterized by a series of methodical moves utilising reliable holds.

Ascend Birchden Corner until your feet reach the second ledge. Then, perform a foot traverse along the entire ledge to the left corner, and conclude by ascending the Isolated Buttress Climb.

A concise connection into Crowborough Corner, proceeding up the arete where Birchden Corner shifts left onto the face.

The grimy and frequently moist wall located across from Bloody Fingers.

The wall situated directly across from Powder Finger.

Begin at Edward's Effort and ascend to the initial ledge. From there, traverse rightward and navigate around the corner to the East face. Traverse the narrow, crimpy break to reach Boysen's Arete, and then conclude by stepping off.

Tackle the crack with effort and execute a challenging leftward manoeuver onto the arete. Conclude by heading straight upwards.

This variation begins by scaling Crowborough Corner up to the initial ledge. Shift right to ascend the delicate face above. Refrain from utilising the cracks on the neighboring routes.

An excellent path follows the juggy flake leading to a decisive move. A bit of reach helps.

An eliminate that’s growing more challenging as the grips gradually erode.

Ascend the brief right-hand arete, veering left past the wedged boulder to reach the ledge. Use a clip-up to avoid your rope cutting into the rock.

Start at the Wailing Wall and move leftward along the lowest break (which ends abruptly) to transition to West Wall.

Ascend the face about a metre away from the arete, which frequently features a slick upper portion.
