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
Rockfax gives it 6a+ and it's 6b in the BMC guide, so the 5 that appears on Gary Gibson's website may be incorrect

βeta: This is confusing, the guide suggests this route should be at the far right of the sector, and is a tough 6a+ that "eaves through the bulges". | βeta? | |
