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.

βeta: Beware. The block you gibbon on is now very detached. I have visited this route many times in the last 15 years and I noticed it had moved 5 years ago (change of size of protection). Now you can fit more than a fist behind it and with my camera poking in it became obvious that you can see daylight almost all the way round. Block is also hollow. No good for protection and dubious to swing on. | βeta? | |
