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.
Rockfax Description
An exposed lead up the very edge of the tower.
1) 4b, 30m. Start up Snoozin' Suzie and from the small ledge above its overhang pull past the overhang above and take the edge of the arete with little deviation to the top. Not using the tree on this final section ups the grade to VS.
2) 10m. As for Snoozin' Suzie. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start as for Snoozin' Suzie but climb the edge of the arete almost direct.
