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.

14m. An eye-catching line and a good climb, best left until after a few days of dry weather. Take a good selection of cams. 3m left of the large, deep cave on the left hand section of the terrace there is a shallow, terrace-level cave/recess. Start in the centre of this, pull onto the wall and move up to a large flat handhold. Gain a standing position on this by a tricky move, and continue to ledges. Climb the overhanging water-streaked scoop above, and finish via the exit groove.
