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
Immediately right of Terror of The Towers is a steep finger and hand crack. Follow this strenuously to a ledge and escape diagonally leftwards up the obvious ramp to lower off. The line given on topo in the BMC guide is incorrect (shown just left of Whose Is Casey?) and this error has unfortunately now been copied into the Rockfax guide.
