The wall that extends from Giant's Staircase presents some demanding routes, but unfortunately, they are frequently damp along the lower break, which can be a source of disappointment.
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, which involves proceeding beyond the favoured Long Layback Area and Giant's Staircase.
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.
