Over the years, climbers have visited Walltown Crags, but it was not until 1984 that any sustained interest was shown in the highest and most impressive black walls of the central area. In this year most of the major climbs in this guide were claimed as pre-cleaned but otherwise on-sight leads by Paul Linfoot. However, a recent developments guide of the time cast doubts about the validity of some of the alleged first ascents being made in the county and details of these routes were not included by the authors of the next NMC guide. In 1992/93 the crag was recleaned and bolted by the author and friends.
