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.

7m. A short but stiff problem which tackles the slim bulging wall left of Arachnid. Above 4 metres the climbing eases considerably. Effectively a solo, although a low friend placement is possible, and there is gear on the easier ground above the crux moves. Holds in the groove to the left are out of bounds.
