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)!
Rockfax Description
A fine trad route. Start below the left-facing groove and climb a crack up into it, then follow it to the roof. Traverse right past two bolt-lines to reach a loose groove on the right, which leads to the top. The upper section of Full Frontal gives a good bolted finish which avoids the loose groove. © Rockfax
