High Tor is managed by Derbyshire Dales District Council (DDDC) and there is a regular wardening service in operation. There are no major access problems at High Tor, but climbers should take careful note of the following agreed guidelines:
- - With the exception of the tree at the top of Castellan, do not abseil from trees at the top.
- - Please walk down using the well established paths and don't cut corners.
- - When belaying above Darius/Robert Brown please use natural belays, stakes or in-situ pegs rather than the safety sign or the fence - the area is a popular look-out spot with the general public and ropes can cause a trip hazard.
- - Do not cut or prune crag top shrubs or trees as these are relied on as a natural barrier to keep visitors back from the edge
