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: Large counter-fridge sized rock pulled off at the top today, almost cutting through the whole rope and smashing down the slope. Top of the gulley now has other loose rocks, plus a large loose section at the bottom. Would suggest the route is not climbable | βeta? | |
