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)!
24m.
Between the glue-ins of Road Runner and Running for Cover, follow the fat bolts - the name says it all. Nice climbing but a bit of an eliminate.

βeta: I know people will criticise this route for its closeness to others but considering I can’t feel either hand due to a stroke ans a completely trapped ulna nerve, this was milestone for me and an extremely difficult task..thank goodness I’ve completed it | βeta? | |
