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
Tremendous atmosphere and positions. Start as for Whitt. Follow Whitt to the wire thread and then to below the overhung arete. Traverse right and reach a ledge. Move up and left on to the wall close to the arete and work up the exposed wall to ledges and the summit of the pinnacle.
Descent - Abseil down to the col from a good spike of rock. © Rockfax

βeta: No pegs visible where mentioned in the guide. Basically climb to the cable strop, go up and round it on its left and then horizontally rightward for 2m around the arête just under the bulge and over the strop. Then up and left completely onto the arête again to finish. | ||
