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.

15m. The obvious first crack in the wall. Climb the crack for around 4mts until you can put some protection (the crack is to wide to protect in the lower section). Then you move up slightly right until you reach a very comfy area with very easy steps. Then climb the corner to the tree or if you feel adventurous climb in the middle of the rock. You can belay from that ledge of scramble a bit more a belay from the next ledge.
