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.

βeta: Crux is very polished, possibly making it a grade harder? Above the crux is nice climbing | βeta? | |

βeta: The guidebook recommends this as two pitches I guess because of rope drag, and that's the way I did it, but they could probably be strung together easily if you extended your draws and/or used strategic twin ropes. | βeta? | |
