The crag section can be climbed only when the foliage is at its minimum because some of the top-outs could be unfeasible. This section is predominantly attractive to novices, with the exception of a few demanding routes or problems scattered here and there.
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.
To access the climbing area, you can use the lower path approach.
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.
