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.
Start as for Vertigo.Climb bulges to the left of Vertigo past two pegs.Take care with the rock on the easy climbing that leads to the top.

βeta: The poor rock quality after the crux, as per description, is not to be underestimated. No amount of care could have prevented two medium sized blocks from crumbling away like old biscuits before I could even weight them. Everything you touch feels fragile. | βeta? | |

βeta: Ignore comment about entering on the left, the right is easier. The first peg is shocking but can be backed up with a good cam a little lower, but is strenuous to place. The rock above the bulge is shocking and there is one bit towards the top that will topple the top of the pinnacle if its disturbed!! Best to climb through the bulge (crux) and then traverse a move to the right (good mid size cam in a pocket on the vertigo face) and either climb the blunt arete or up the top half of vertigo.
