Access Banned

As described in the 2010 CC guide, climbing at Symonds Yat is only permitted on the north-west facing cliffs - from The Introductory Rocks to the Final Zone inclusive.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Peregrine falcons have established a nest since 2019 on Strathdon, in the White Wall.  Climbers should therefore avoid all routes from Motorway Madness to Night Nurse, inclusive, during the restricted period. 

 

13m. Some loose rock, but well-protected nonetheless. Start down to the left of the start of Arrow Root pitch 2, beneath a groove and crackline just right of the arete. Climb the easy but mossy slope to gain the groove (escapable at this point to the left, but stick to the groove). Bridge up, and climb the crack to the small roof, avoiding the loose pinkish rib just to the right. Move right to good holds and gear at a triangular block. Make a stiff pull up to a good hold on the right, and finish leftwards.
