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)!

βeta: Run out but good rock where it isn't chossy. You won't fall when you step around the arete but also please don't fall there. The anchor is there even though it's hard to see from the ground. Has a traddy adventurous feel. Rather enjoyed it. | βeta? | |

βeta: A nice enough route with reasonable moves. Take care with the rock though, it's quite brittle so even ledges that look solid can be quite flaky. More of a warm up than one to get into sport on. | βeta? | |
