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: Large loose block slightly to the L of the climbing on the upper wall. Tried to remove but might need a crowbar. | βeta? | |

βeta: Feels a bit harder if you miss the small hold above the jugs after the overlap, but a nice route nonetheless | βeta? | |
