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.
32m.
Start as for Red Rose Speedway, but after a couple of metres traverse left along a ledge to the corner. Climb the corner to a ledge below a steeper headwall. Move up left onto another ledge, then climb the pocketed wall above to a ledge and an easier finish up a groove.
Please be aware that at the time of writing (June 2010) there is a very large loose block where the corner and the RRS ledge meet. It does not detract from the climb but care is needed for both climber and belayer alike.
