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.

13m. Starts up the large tree at the left hand end of The Waterpipe Bay. Or start directly on the rock face. Strenuous and tricky start on small-ish edges (hard 4b, possibly 4c) and on dubious rock gains the large crack. Easier from here.

Wye's it a trad classic (up to HVS)?
