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. 

 

When I did the FA of this lovely route, my second left a piece of gear in the overhang and as I was soloing up to get it out a bloke climbing Golden Fleece tensioned over and retrieved it. Saying thanks I down climbed until he said, "finders keepers" - when he got back down again, I "persuaded" him otherwise - hence the name of the route. Have fun folks, but don't fall off the crux!
Done the original FA way, it is definitely E3
