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.

9m. Reasonable climbing but high in the grade as the protection is not good. Start 2m right of Slidewater Shuffle pitch 1 at a flake. Use the flake to reach a good flat hold, and move slightly left to small ledges. Trend slightly rightwards following the vague groove. With a sling runner on the sapling, either gain the terrace directly up an earthy bank, or traverse right to exit as for pitch 1 of Sinergen.
