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.

Enjoyable and protectable. Start at the shallow corner with a tree sticking out at its top. Take the shallow corner crack to the tree and a ledge. Head straight up for 3m then traverse leftwards for 3m to a right slanting groove. Climb the groove to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
