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: HARPUR HILL 28 MARCH 2019 - BREAKFAST AT SAFEWAYS 6B I'm not sure if I started to climb too much to the side, I do not know if I climbed according to the guide. For the first time in my life I've climbed outside in the UK, previously only indoor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7TwChbrelU&t=860s | ||
