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.
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.

βeta: The guidebook recommends this as two pitches I guess because of rope drag, and that's the way I did it, but they could probably be strung together easily if you extended your draws and/or used strategic twin ropes. | βeta? | |
