Restricted Access
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.
July 2020 update - The peregrines have left the nest on Strathdon - restriction lifted
Rockfax Description
Excellent. The centre of the steep wall right of the corner is climbed direct, tackling the small overhang on big holds then moving out to the right arete once the blank wall is reached. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
