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.

7m. Short but worthwhile. Start to the right of the Moderate downclimb from the cliff-top belvedere, just to the right of the waterpipe. Step onto the wall and span up and right from a good sidepull to place a hard-to-spot but crucial small wire. Make a couple of steep moves to get established on the short wall above (there are several ways of doing this). The top comes all too soon.
