High Rocks is situated on privately owned land and the current access situation is very fragile. Local activists and the BMC are in the process of negotiating with the land owner about access arrangements for the future.Caution
The final access arrangements have not yet been completely finalised, although potential rules and prices have been distributed, it is advised that climbers try to avoid this crag until it has been fully agreed and confirmed with the BMC and land owners. Further talks with the BMC may well be held next week, so although slim, rules and requirements may possibly change slightly to help support access to the rocks in the future.
Current Situation
Climbing is still allowed and if you must climb there then the current rules must be obeyed by everyone, in particular boulderers, as there have been reports of climbers/boulderers not being cooperative. At the moment bouldering is only allowed from Monday to Thursday and for any top rope climbing at the weekend please arrive before 11:30am or after 5:30pm. This is due to wedding parties being in the grounds and around the patio area near the bar. Please sign-in and pay at the lower bar and please respect the owners wishes and be polite to staff if asked to show your ticket. Please also move out of the area if a wedding is taking place (particularly Nemesis area), keep noise and the use of chalk to a minimum, so all climbers can continue to climb in this beautiful location.
