This initial section is part of a sequence of walls that are more uniform and located closer to the well-liked Long Layback Area, along the upper path.
Unfortunately, this particular wall is not frequently climbed and can be unattractive with a slippery, green appearance for much of the time. However, this situation may improve with the woodland management plan, which aims to facilitate better air flow to reach the rock.
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.
Access to this area is also available from the top path near the carpark, as well as by descending the gully located to the left of this 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.
