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.

12m. Just left of the corner of Embryo is a chossy-looking groove, which is actually more solid than it looks. Climb the groove trending very slightly rightwards to a small cave. Take care as there are some suspect blocks around the cave. So far the climbing is quite easy, but now make strenuous moves through the bulge above the cave to gain a good jug. This crux is not well protected. Finish more easily.
