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.

βeta: Echo Steve Gibbs - 20 March 22. This is hugely better than it appears from below. Don't be put off by the greenery. Very strong candidate for the second best VS at the Yat (after Whitt of course). | βeta? | |

βeta: Starts just left of the large yew tree, just right of the large rock scar above. Straight up the tricky groove to the end of the terrace, and then continue up the groove (using the right wall) to step left into the cave. Fun moves up and right out of the cave to continue following the groove up to finally take the obvious overhanging blocks on jugs. | βeta? | |
