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.
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.
Rockfax Description
A worthy VS partner to its near neighbour that follows the offset grooves on the rib. Begin at the base of the groove and follow it until an insecure move left gains the upper groove which leads to a ledge and tree. Finish up a crack above the ledge. © Rockfax
