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.

40m. The steep north face of the pinnacle. Start 5m right of Whitt and climb easily to a ledge (if possible, otherwise traverse in). Climb up rightwards to a ledge, then up leftwards to a thread and peg runner. Climb straight up to a large hole and thread runner. Move up right to a spike and peg runner above. Make a hard move past the peg and traverse left to jugs (poor thread). Climb up carefully to a ledge and finish easily up a short corner.
