Avon Gorge route closure notification

Posted by Martin Crocker on 21/12/2012

ClimbBristol is undertaking improvement works on Morning Slab, Avon Gorge on the weekend of 5 and 6 January 2013. Some routes will be closed during the work period.

The works have been consented by Natural England, and will include scrub and loose rock removal. The following climbs will be closed throughout that weekend:

  • Main Wall: All routes between The Evening Light and Morning Slab
  • Morning Slab: All routes
  • Evening Wall: All routes

With apologies for any inconvenience caused.

ClimbBristol is a BMC project launched earlier this year, with the aim of caring for and promoting the interests of what has been called ‘the most significant urban crag in Britain’.
