Ascents in Mount Buffalo by Harrie Van de Linde

great piece of rock and actually well spaced bolts. could say its a soft 21 but real nice

Awesome route that stands as a test piece in the centre face of the south gorge. but unfortunately you get a false sense of confidence with the great jams turning to steep #4 offwidth. i did try some new stacking techniques but it's above me now unfortunately.

first pitch only. second is pro-less chimney, will rap in to try.

Another super classic of Buffalo that is severely underclimbed!!! Only because it’s out of the way for most.

Hard slab, very slick and small rock

Bloody awesome climb, First pitch is MEGA!!! Traverse is scary on the only M6? Bolt. Only last pitch is a bit mossy but nice.

Pretty good

Got the first part, but aid section is seaping and full of moss: Went out left instead, small finger traverse (22-23)? But very chossy and loose flakey rock.

Should have lead it, but one for next time.

Another cool start, third time in this climb.

Hard finger lock start, 2 #5 cams would have been nice.

You can’t win them all unfortunately, and the sharp granite crimps beat me today.

Done before, 2 years ago

Second time round, swapped leads from last time. Awesome again!!

1st and 3rd pitch

my goodness, it took us nearly as long to set up the rap and get to the base as it did to do the climb. cant pull rope from 60m. its pretty good but some bold exposed slab for an 18.

timmy lead first. real nice flowing corner crack. easily lead but placing gear seemed to be the hard part.

hell yeah, very nice corner up brilliant jams.

oh yeah, i took 1 #4 and 2 #3, you'd need 3 of each to be sane and not bump a cam 15m like i did, but bomber all the way.

timmy lead, then i did. red point next day to get out.

yeah its real nice but hard to find the route in some spots. classic buffalo run out slabs and dykes.

rapped in from bottom of James. really not worth it. if we did the right climb, its crumbly, mossy, bushy and dusty. meh

pretty cool, very easy, use first carrot for safe fall

very easy but lack of safe protection. one #4 cam and one sling

its a crack

slabby "wind blew me off balance"

lay back

pretty good

not as easy as it looks, a few rests but all in the same spot

only worth it on a hot day, because of beautiful pools above.

second round, still a scary traverse

second time, direct start this time

very nice climb, LOTS of hand jams

just in the scary dyke runout section, fell on a sling. cant recall whether i caught the sling or found a foot. ill call it
