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. 

 

10m. Stinky Plop VS 4c 10m

Low in the grade but poorly protected in the bottom half.

1m right of Mississippi is a shallow groove split at half height by an earthy ledge. Climb the groove direct, with a difficult and unprotected start (crux), eschewing holds and protection on the route to the left.

βeta: Size two wire is available in the bottom half, which is otherwise unprotected. A genuinely good edition to the Buttress, but like others here, would benefit from a brush before climbing.
