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