Southern Sandstone

Owned by the British Mountaineering Council and managed by locals, Harrison's Rocks is the perfect place to start climbing as it caters for all abilities. There are nearly 400 climbs at the outcrop, with grades ranging from very easy for the complete beginner, to extremely tricky for the accomplished climber. The rocks are soft by nature and there is a specific code of practice laid out by the BMC that we follow to minimise damage to the crags.
