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)!
9m.
To the left of Edge play is a buttress split by an off-width crack in its lower half. Climb this to exit right onto good ledge. Place gear then step left and commit to the upper wall and using either arete, continue boldly to the top.
