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
Start as for Coral Seas, but continue to the flat roof, then pull over on big positive holds to the next break. One more hard move gains easier ground, then the belay. © Rockfax

βeta: bit of a contrived line, the difficulty of which seems to depend on how resolutely you ignore the huge flake on coral sea, shame as the move thru the bulge is a good lil problem. | βeta? | |

βeta: I top roped it and wouldn't have got through the roof section on the lead. Then watched some old geezer called Rab cruise it. Very nice route though. | βeta? | |

βeta: Good route glad to see it now gets 7a (6c+ in the guide) after working the moves on the roof i managed to lead it clean to the last hard cpl of moves high up before the jug, but had to aid the last section. Still i reckon gettin over the roves is at least 6b+/c :) | βeta? | |
