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.

Rockfax Description
The twin corner cracks give a good workout that can be well-protected with large gear.
1) 4c, 22m. The tapering crack and single crack above give sustained bridging and jamming. Belay on a ledge above.
2) 8m. Finish up the groove on the right. © Rockfax
