Nodes in Campsite Area

From the back of campsites 31, 32 or 33 (see http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/_data/assets/pdffile/0003/314472/Park-note-Mt-Buffalo-Lake-Catani-summer-camping.pdf ) head up hill. There's a few bolders. Paralax boulder is on the right. Boldfinger is the diagonal crack facing camp, Paralax the splitter on the southern face. 2 carrots for anchors on top. Descend by downclimbing (scary) or simulrapping.

Looking at campsite 28, walk about 10-15m into the bush to the couple of boulders. The right taller boulder starting on the arete, with a 3 finger pocket high right and a side pulling crimp left, head straight up for a slaby and messy finish

Climbing here varies from trad climbing, mainly up obvious lines and features, to sport climbing up slabs and sections of rock impossible to protect with natural gear. Of course, there are lots of climbs protected with a mixture of trad gear augmented with occasional bolt runners. Given that the trad ethic is still strong here, and the continuing need to minimize our environmental climbing 'footprint', please avoid unilateral decisions to retro-bolt and be restrained in using fixed protection when establishing new routes.

From Site 16, walk about 30m up the hill to the jumble of scrappy boulders and skirt to the left. A short and wickedly left-curving offwidth, capped by a small roof, presents itself.

Set a top-rope off of bomber boulder anchors on top, lead it (nothing bigger than #4 camalots required), or suck it up and boulder it out...

Excellent after-dinner or after-breakfast entertainment (for spectators)

This is a traverse around the outside of the Lake Catani Shelter. Begin by standing inside the hut and the problem commences as you step directly out onto the rock façade of the building in the left direction. Continue around all walls of the building until you return to the door and can finally step back inside onto the ground. Whilst not technically that difficult it is an epic endurance problem with many pinch grips. Use of the wooden eaves is forbidden and you cannot sit on the window ledges for rest. Link up with a second loop of the hut by traversing the doorway and beginning the problem again.

Dubious splits across two boulders with a sketchy fall included.

5-10 minute scramble straight out of campsite 28, at the third set of boulders.
