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: Case for a second star here. One of the most pleasing routes at HH: a sharp bouldery start then satisfyingly long romp to the top on crisp, interesting holds - more like natural than quarried. | βeta? | |
