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)!
12m.

βeta: Definitely not F6a. Keeping to the line of the bolts must be good F6b to say nothing of its reliance on loose holds - I admit to escaping onto Top Totty! Not recommended!! | βeta? | |

βeta: I absolutely agree, felt like 6b climbing the crux, if you stay left, A "ladder" up to that has probably down graded it..rusty bolts too!! | βeta? | |
