Climb and jump—The Birmingham-Southern Bouldering Club recently embarked on a rock climbing expedition at the local Moss Rock nature preserve, and then later in the day, headed to their next destination—a beautiful rock quarry in Leeds where they took this photo. The rock quarry resembles a giant dome containing exceptionally deep water and surrounded by woods. The quarry has no dirt at the bottom. Instead, the 100-foot-deep water is completely surrounded by rocks. This gives the quarry its "pure blue" look. It also is encircled by dramatic cliffs that visitors can climb to jump into the water. Here, the students had just experienced the rush of jumping off a 25-foot-high cliff, which was one of the lower points of the quarry since heights reached nearly 100 feet.
