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)!

UKC Logbook Description
The obvious arete, strenuous then bold. Pull steeply onto a ledge on the right side of the arete. Follow the steep finger and hand crack just right of the arete to a sprint up bigger holds away from protection to the top.
