The National Trust who own the Dover cliff top are concerned about erosion, damage to wild life and the health and safety aspects of climbing. Climbers have been deterred from climbing when parking at National Trust car parks. Already a tentative access agreement at the Needles Headland bans ice-style climbing on the chalk cliffs there. So encourage the BMC access people to push hard to maintain ice-style climbing on these cliffs. There is a huge amount of chalk cliff to explore in the Seven Sisters area and a cliff immediately to the west of Durdle Door.
Chalk is like no other rock.
It requires great coolness, good ice technique, a wacky sense of humour, a willingness to break the rules and an adventurous disposition.
