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.
Climb the pocketed wall 3m right of Pot and glass to reach a vegetated ledge with a bulging wall above. Move up and leftwards through the bulge (peg) to gain a good finger slot and jug . Make perplexing moves up a shallow scoop to reach two large pockets above and a welcome in-situ thread. Continue up and slightly leftwards passing the right hand end of the small cave of Pot and glass to reach another in-situ thread, just above the cave. Climb straight up the centre of the steep red wall and make a tricky rock over to reach a hidden sidepull jug above. Move left and pull over the slight bulge to reach easy ground and thus the top.

βeta: Note for next time, from the good break above the shared ledge (up and right of cave) get a LH sidepull flake and reach right to a hidden jug. Clip thread and move to breaks and pockets over bulge. | ||
