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)!
Climbs the face left of Long Playa. Hard blinkered climbing direct without recourse to the groove and blocks on the left.

βeta: This is actually a variant of "Extended Player". As described there avoiding the blocks and groove on the left gives a rather blinkerded F6b variant. | βeta? | |
