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
Climb the centre of the slab easily to good protection in a break (bomber wires). Enigmatic moves lead to the overlap (large friend). Pull onto the easier upper wall using a flat hold with confidence.
