Ilchester
Description
[Edit]Only 10 minutes outside of the beltway, with great routes Ilchester is the center of the universe for Baltimore climbers.
There are a few leads, but most climbs are set up via the concrete infused pole on top of the cliff. While exceedingly strong this can get crowded on busy days so some long static rope or webbing is a good idea just in case. Even if you use the pole you need twenty feet or so to put the TR over the edge.
The rock is generally sharp, and the well-used holds can be slippery, but often intricate sequences make for great climbing.
This is a well used/abused urban crag both by climbers as well as the community so every attempt should be made to keep relations with rangers and locals friendly.
