Access Banned

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. 

 

Not as hard as it looks!

βeta: Took big Camalot #5 up but it wasn't actually any help. All you need is a #4 Friend to bump (or 2, if you're flush), a sling for a chockstone and the biggest hex for near the top.
