UKC

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. Starts up the large tree at the left hand end of The Waterpipe Bay. Or start directly on the rock face. Strenuous and tricky start on small-ish edges (hard 4b, possibly 4c) and on dubious rock gains the large crack. Easier from here.

Wye's it a trad classic (up to HVS)?
