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)!
Central of three routes on small isolated buttress to the left of "Pole Position" buttress which takes the edge and wall to belay shared with Sawtooth

βeta: Route goes up the sharp edge at about 6a+/6b (the grade as given on Gary Gibson's website sportsclimbs.co.uk). The routes in this area are more accurately described and graded on Gary's site, lots of inaccuracies and omissions on UKC for this sector. | βeta? | |

βeta: If you try to go up the face with your right on the arete its way too hard for 5a. If you go into the groove behind the arete it\'s more 5a-ish but you use some of the same holds as the route to the right. | βeta? | |
