A magnificent buttress with a wet and mossy lower left side, and a popular right side.
The buttress is hampered by its damp and mossy lower left-hand side. Further right is better when things totally dry out, those mossier routes are very worthwhile.
The rightmost side of this wall has the most popular routes, which is understandable. The walls to the right of ‘Starlight’ are usually lower in quality and rarely climbed.
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.
Use the Top Path Approach. This is easily recognisable by the fallen tree leaning against the wall, on its damp left-hand side.
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.
