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: Nice steady lead with plenty of protection. Very dirty at the top. It’s advisable to throw a sling around the tree at the top of the vertical section to protect topping out, or alternatively use the tree on the LHS as the stance and thus avoid the muddy slope. | ||
