Restricted Access
UPDATE AUG25:
After constructive engagement with Forestry England and the BMC the open access closure has now been removed from the southern end ONLY of the Symonds Yat cliffs. This includes Far South Buttress, New Orleans Buttress and The Final Zone.
Access is contingent on strictly observing the closed section from Introductory Rocks to Bowlers Hole inclusive. There are unstable sections of the cliff and contractors will need to access these sectors at any time until Spring 2026.
Please observe and respect signage which demarks the closed areas, and do not climb nor take access on foot beyond the signs.
The wall between Parachute (2) and The Empty Days (2).
Start 2m right of the tree of Parachute (2) and climb over the bulge and up the centre of the wall. An easier variation is possible at VS 4c (top limit of the grade) by climbing parachute for 2m and then traversing in to the right.
First ascent 20/05/22 Graham 'Sven' Hassall and Marius Smith.
