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
Follow the obvious and awkward wide crack left of Trial and Error, exit right onto ledge at half height. Follow crack line just right (long quickdraw to clip one bolt on Senile Delinquents) swing left at the overlap to lower off shared with Trial and Error. 7 bolts.
