About High Rocks Annexe

NEVER climb when wet — damages rock. Access is by courtesy of the residents of the bungalow above the outcrop in Tea Garden Lane — a quick call at the door is all that is needed, and refusing to ask first will lose access for everyone. High Rocks Annexe (known locally as Bristol Jacks) sits directly opposite the main High Rocks venue, hidden just off the road back towards Tunbridge Wells in a small copse. The outcrop is short — no more than about 20 feet along its length — but delivers a handful of good highball problems and short top-rope lines on the same soft Ardingly sandstone as its bigger neighbour. Tree cover keeps it damp and green through most of winter; it is really a summer venue for boulderers and highballers. Top-roping only — no leading, no metal gear, and rope guards mandatory to protect the fragile top edge.
