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.

8m. climb the steep corner above the yew tree

βeta: Definitely high end of VDiff grade, have done easier S at Symonds Yat. Slightly stressful mid section - purely due to awkward move to place gear. Nice and exposed feeling due to drop off below climb start. Bit of gardening required.
