Access issues inherited from The Church

None, always treat the area with the utmost respect so it stays this way.

Ethic inherited from The Church

Stay on established tracks and avoid damaging any vegetation in this area. - DO NOT go to the toilet on any of the ledges, take a walk down to ground level and bury it or better yet go before you get there. Give the holds a brush when lowering to minimise chalk build up.
