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. 

 

No description has been contributed for this climb.

βeta: Be very careful at that 3 meter point as the now crux does not have any gear and would be a ground fall - possibly now VS 4a!?

βeta: Climbed this today and managed to pull a large and seemingly strong looking part of the arete off about 2.5-3m up (pretty much where your first runner goes), resulting in a rock fall, me fall and my belayer almost having her head taken off. Climbs probably gone up a few grades now...sorry.
