Access Banned
As described in the 2010 CC guide, climbing at Symonds Yat is only permitted on the north-west facing cliffs - from The Introductory Rocks to the Final Zone inclusive.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Peregrine falcons have established a nest since 2019 on Strathdon, in the White Wall. Climbers should therefore avoid all routes from Motorway Madness to Night Nurse, inclusive, during the restricted period.
28m.
Nicely sustained wall climbing on good rock and probably the best line on this wall, although, unfortunately escapable in places.
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. | ||
