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: There are a few good, cleaned holds on the arete at the top. It wasn't obvious how you could make the moves without using them and felt quite artificial if you did. But if you do use them I suspect the route is more likely 5c or 6a, rather than 6a+? High Impact to its left is a considerable step up in technical difficulty for example. | βeta? | |
