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)!

Crack line to the left of the arete to the left of Fred Flintstone.

Moderator note - There is a crack left of Fred Flintstone but the two photos connected to this route listing are not that crack, neither are they the same crack.
