Route Description - Hilton Crags
Whilest every effort has been made to ensure that this information is correct, the author takes no responsibilites for the accuracy of the information. It is up to the user to ensure that he/she is climbing the correct route and that it is in his/her ability to do so safely.
Please note that continued access at these crags is not guaranteed. Take care not to cause erosion. Do not light fires nor in anyway harm the fragile ecosystems. The venues are both closed during the fire season : Begining of July to end of October.
While there have been no new developments, some retrobolting and re-equiping has occurred. The following are now fully fledged sport routes: Gravity's Rainbow, Bolts From the Blue Direct, The Mother Crushers, Minor Misdemeanour. Creatures of the Wall, Acid Reign, Sweet Street, Disintegration, The Blasting Concept and Red Tape Escape all sport chain anchors. A despicable amount of vandalism has occured and many routes are missing gear in odd places. Preview your lines carefully before climbing. Please report vandals to the local police.
