	17	★★ Heat of the Moment - with Brian Watts	Mixed trad 28m, 6	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 24th Jul 2021
Nice bit of laybacking.
	22	★★★ Wildfire - with Josh Sowter	Mixed trad 38m, 3	Hellfire		Ollie Rattue	Sat 10th Jul 2021
Climbed with Josh. Burnout was a waterfall so jumped on this 22. Ended up lying on my back on the diving board, weirdess climbing move I've ever done. Pretty unfit at the moment but good to get back out and do some mileage. Loved Hellfire, what a place. Been missing these early start missions. P2 was more like 17 / 18 would like to lead that next time.

	24	★★★ Hellfire	Trad 38m	Hellfire	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sat 25th Jul 2009
Trad Wow! Beautiful route! Climbing career highlight for me. Am a bit of a pissy trad climber. Worked the bottom roof more than a year ago. Pulled through it this time and was really stoked to onsight/flash the rest. After hanging in this finger lock (mid crux) for almost 5min contemplating giving up or pushing on. Thanks Ross! Awesome route!

Felt under graded.
	16	In the Nick of Time - with RIO 1	Trad 8m	Hellfire	Average	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Apr 2018
Only gets 3 stars when they come back to clean it. Dangerous too, loose blocks. Do that and it will be quite good. Traverse under roof is very good.
	15	★★ Valkyrie	Trad 10m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Apr 2018

	19	★★ Painkiller - with Aimee	Trad 26m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 15th Feb 2015
2nd proper 19 OS on trad, supposedly hard 19 too. Better than Magnetic. Has a crack section that is uncharacteristic of SA climbing. So right up there with the best, Book gives it 4 stars but deserves 5. One of my new favorite routes!
	17	★★ Joker Smoker - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 36m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 15th Feb 2015
One of the best trad routes at its grade, nice and long too.

	12	★ Trade Route - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 61m	Hellfire	Don't Bother	Cormac Tooze	Sun 13th Jun 2021
1st and 2nd last pitches the best, the route is let down by the other pitches.
	15	★★★ Warm Up - with Ryan	Trad 32m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sat 19th Jun 2021
What an exceptional climb for the grade. Worth repeating. Overhanging at top, so clean falls. Def worth more than 3/5 stars given in the book.
	13	★ Wounded Warrior - with Ryan	Trad 25m	Hellfire	Average	Cormac Tooze	Sat 19th Jun 2021
Cool to do once, nothing special, better climbs at this crag.
	15	★★★ Gemstone - with Ryan	Trad 15m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sat 19th Jun 2021
Great off-width crack climb. 2 #4's will make it less scary. I highly recomed this one, great views at top-out.
	13	★ Ruby - with Ryan	Trad 10m	Hellfire	Average	Cormac Tooze	Sat 19th Jun 2021
Nice to do once. Challenging.

	16	★★ Sceptre - with Eyed0LL, Donny Brovado	Trad 25m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 20th Jun 2021
Great climb, very varied. Helps to have large cams. Worth repeating. Way better than the 2/5 stars in the book. I give 3.5/5 The Climb might be harder as Eyed0LL broke a foothold.
	14	★★ Bat Outta Hell - with Eyed0LL, Donny Brovado	Trad 11m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 20th Jun 2021
Really cool crack climbing. Hand jams and fist jams. Worth repeating. MIght be harder than 14. 3 stars in the book, I give it 3.75/5

Great route! Worth repeating. Testing crux, best route at this sector.
	17	★★ Coronation - with Brian Watts	Trad 25m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 11th Jul 2021

	18	★★★ Skewburn - with Brian Watts	Trad 34m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 24th Jul 2021
Good line. 'Sideburn' still the business though.
	16	★★★ Afterglow - with Eyed0LL	Trad 33m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 1st Aug 2021
Great crack climbing. Worth repeating. P2 the money pitch.
	12	★★★ Chilling Out - with Eyed0LL	Trad 35m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 1st Aug 2021
P1 climbs way better than it looks. P2 was great, engaging for the grade.

	15	★★★ Warm Up - with Michael Champion, Allan Wilson	Trad 32m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Peter Hunter	Sun 15th Aug 2021
A fantastic route, well protected. Feels harder than the grade. We veered off left towards the top to stance on a wonderful ledge and missed the direct finish which looked like the crux but nonetheless was still an awesome climb. Logging as a send but will likely have to go back to send the direct finish! Route eats gear and I have since purchased another 2 cams to make sure I don’t run short next time We started the day with Wounded Warrior (very pleasant start to the day and worth doing) to gain Lucifers Ledge and then moved right to the start of Warm Up.

	13	★ Wounded Warrior - with michael champion, allan wilson	Trad 25m	Hellfire	★ Good	Peter Hunter	Sun 15th Aug 2021
Great climb to start the day and gain Lucifer’s Ledge. Highlight of the route is the top which is well protected and provides an athletic finish as you exit the chimney onto the face and pull through on overhanging blocks to gain the ledge. Finish feels harder than the grade 13 assigned ;-)
	16	★★ Crash Flash - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 38m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Aug 2021
Really good route, worth 4/5 not the three given in the book.

	18	★★★ Red Hot Smoker - with Eyed0LL	Trad 43m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 10th Oct 2021

	12	★★ Short Fuse - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 14m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 6th Nov 2021
Climbs way better than it looks.
	14	★★ Light Up - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 5m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 6th Nov 2021
It's short, but worth it, committing!
	15	★★ Firecracker - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 15m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 6th Nov 2021
Cool climb, textured rock, interesting gear.

	18	★★ Some Like It Hot - with Caro 1 17 25m 2 18 18m	Trad 43m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Ollie Rattue	Sun 1st Aug 2021
Onsighted P1, dogged P2 hot slippery crack thing
	15	★★★ Gemstone - with Megan	Trad 15m	Hellfire		Ollie Rattue	Sun 15th Aug 2021
Thrutchy chimney, good to get on these, maybe I should have led it after Megan? Climb all the things I hate to climb to get better at the things I hate to climb!
	21	★★★ Burnout (Original) - with David 1 19 20m lead by Aidan Bennetts 2 21 28m lead by David	Trad 48m	Hellfire		Aidan Bennetts	Thu 12th May 2022

Second pitch is mega. Hung at the final boulder problem on TR. Psyched to get on lead on this.
	15	★★ Moses' Tablet - with Donny Brovado	Trad 42m	Hellfire	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 16th Jun 2022
A good test.
	17	★★ Fear no Evil - with Donny Brovado	Trad 40m	Hellfire	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 16th Jun 2022
Engaging/ amazing crux lower down, but the rest of the route after is quiet vanilla.
	18	★★ Some Like It Hot - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 43m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 26th Jun 2022
Pitch 1 felt hard for 17, placing gear awkward. I found the next pitch easier although it looks intimidating. A good climb worth doing/ repeating.
	18 21	★★ Direct Hit - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 36m	Hellfire	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 26th Jun 2022
Unusually soft, else being tall helped. Such good climbing, technical crux, very good gear. Highly recomended and worth repeating.

Cool route. Next time I'll give leading this a go.
	20	★★ Hot Box	Trad 40m	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 31st Jul 2022
3 Star routes at this crag are 4/5 star elsewhere.Exceptional climb with some sport like moves. And some traditional trad moves too. A great mix. Fought hard for the onsight. Gear is good. Can't recommend it more.
	19	★★★ Burning Ambition 1 19 20 Trad lead by Ollie Rattue 2 19 25 Trad lead by Ollie Rattue	Trad 45m	Hellfire		Ollie Rattue	Sun 7th Aug 2022
Very cool route. Got lost at the very end of P2. Not sure what the correct exit is...ended up doing a boulder move foot over head mantle onto lichenous rock, which was clearly not correct, and hung on what turned out to be my stance piece. Turns out the topo line was wrong and has now been corrected.
	11	★★ Rapid Relief - with Donny Brovado	Trad 15m	Hellfire	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Mon 8th Aug 2022
Quick way to get off pillar.
