	24	★ Heathen's Hangout	Sport 15m, 6	Hellfire	Average	phlip olivier	Sat 28th Jul 2012
Quick last climb of the day before the sun goes out. And what a magnificent day for Hellfire it was.
	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!

	22	★★★ Judge Dredd	Sport 27m, 11	Hellfire	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sat 28th Jul 2012

	23 22	★★★ Judge Dredd - with G. Hart	Sport 27m, 11	Hellfire	★★★ Mega Classic	Cormac Tooze	Wed 11th Nov 2020
I reckon it's 23. I've climbed over 50 22's now and this one is very hard for 22. We have added quiet a few new glue-in bolts for the run-out sections.
	22	★★★ Hot Flush - with Greg	Sport 20m, 7	Hellfire	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Fri 18th Dec 2020

	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.

	22	★★★ Judge Dredd - with Aidan Bennetts	Sport 27m, 11	Hellfire		David	Wed 11th May 2022
If it was any more 22 it would be a 25 😂. Maybe I was tired at the end of the day but this route felt very hard for the grade

Didn't feel like a 22. If you go direct to chains using the small face crimps at the end before the chains, then you can make this a 21.
