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)!
Rockfax Description
A route that can't fail to have good moves since it borrows so much from adjacent routes, however it is a poor eliminate that should never have been bolted. © Rockfax

βeta: This can't fail to be decent since it borrows so much climbing from other very good routes. Climb the rib at the bottom, then the groove of Sin City, then pull left into I'm In The Sin Bin (or right pretty much still on Sin City), Join Seven Deadly Sins for a bit, then do an independent move to the lower-off although you may accidentally clip the lower off on Sin Bin. It shouldn't ever have been bolted. | βeta? | |
