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. Bold in places, and on suspect rock. Start just left of Sinergen pitch two, and climb the shallow, left-facing, yellowish corner to a small thread at 3m on the left. From the thread move right under a jutting fin of rock and pull up into the niche. Arrange protection here (medium to large cams useful), then bridge steeply up and left onto the suspect hanging pillar itself. Climb direct up the front of the pillar with extreme care and finish just left of a short scrappy corner. Currently in a dangerous state, but potentially a reasonable pitch once the remaining loose blocks have been removed.
