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)!
Rockfax Description
An eliminate up the front of the pillar is more independent than it looks. Make an awkward move in from the right, or direct is possible. At another break make a desperate fridge-hugging move up to reach the next break. Finish more easily. © Rockfax

βeta: Pretty stiff pull past the first bolt. I can see why it\'s tempting to skip it up the groove. Certainly worth another half grade with the proper start. | βeta? | |

βeta: There is one very hard move if you go direct above the mid-height break (6c+) which can be avoided by a couple of quick moves out right. | βeta? | |
