UKC

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: We think this route is incorrectly marked on the Rockfax app, and the actual line taken by Bedrock Paradox is actually just right of the last line on the right marked on the topo. Very well bolted and very straightforward, F4-ish? A good choice for beginners or timid climbers as the bolts are close.
