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
Worthwhile and popular though a bit of an eliminate. Climb to the roof and make long moves right past the bulge. The wall leads to the break and nice arete - avoid the crack on the right. © Rockfax
