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
Interesting climbing that needs a steady approach. Climb the wall and then the technical hanging corner to a ledge. Continue up the line of the corner for 5m and then move leftwards to a good ledge. Finish up the short groove above. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Climb the wall and the groove above (delicate) to the ledge atop the pillar (optional belay on threads). Continue up the line of the groove for 15 feet and traverse leftwards to a good ledge. Finish up the short groove above.

βeta: As of 2023-05-29 The peregrines are back in the nest on Strathdon with a hatched baby. The current BMC restriction status is inaccurate and needs to have the "2020 update - restriction lifted" part removed... according to the log I'm not the only one confused by this. | βeta? | |
