Restricted Access
The rock varies in character from typically quarried on the lower tier through to more abrasive rock on the upper tier where blasting has uncovered large tracts of calcite-encrusted rock which almost feels like natural limestone. As with most quarries, extra vigilance needs to be exercised by both climber and belayer here given the blasting activity which has created potential for loose rock.
Don't swim in the bright blue toxic pool (as if you needed telling)!

βeta: Good climbing, although the bolts could be better placed. Try to avoid the tempation to go right at the top | βeta? | |

βeta: One of the best on this wall! Gary Gibson gives it 6b which must be fair for the crux is an odd stretchy balance move right at he top. The moves over the first bulge are interesting too. | βeta? | |
