Harrison's Rocks, Sandstone climbing area in East Sussex, England
Harrison's Rocks extends over 400 meters through woodland, featuring sandstone walls ranging from 6 to 12 meters in height with 667 established routes.
The British Mountaineering Council acquired this climbing site in the early 20th century to preserve and maintain the sandstone formations for future generations.
The climbing community at Harrison's Rocks maintains strict protocols, including the use of top roping and soft-soled shoes to protect the delicate sandstone.
The site operates from 8 AM to 10 PM during summer months and 8 AM to 5 PM in winter, with a pay-and-display parking system.
The sandstone composition requires specific climbing techniques, prohibiting the use of traditional leader-placed gear to prevent structural damage to the rock faces.
