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.
25m.
A link up of the best bits of three semi-redundant, overgrown and unbalanced routes plus a new finish to give a worthwhile and consistent climb. Start up 'Big Bad C' and once over the initial bulge, step down and right onto the steep slab of 'Ryan's Daughter'. Climb the pocketed wall slightly rightwards to a resting ledge then take the steep juggy wall rightwards to finish as for Motorway Madness. A good, well protected route.

βeta: Not sure where the 5b move was, and the top felt a bit run out and sustained - hvs 4c??? maybe I missed something... Would definitely deserve a star or two after a thorough spring clean. | βeta? | |
