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
The next slim buttress to the right is identified by a prominent crack, leaning slightly to the right and running the full height of the cliff. Interesting climbing follows this past a few ledges to the finishing groove which is steeper than it looks.
