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.
A good, possibly better, variation on Red Shift, avoiding the mossy corner by taking the final wall of Dennis the Menace. Climb, as for Rhubarb, to the ledge, and continue into the cave above. Move up steeply on big holds, place gear as high as possible (large hex and small thread a little higher) then step right into the centre of the wall. Move up to clip the peg then make good technical moves to pass it and reach the saplings. Move back left and finish up the final part of Rhubarb.
