Description

This is a good area to fill in a few hours at the end of the day. The access is a relatively easy fifteen minute walk.

Approche

Approach from the signposted walking track. The track heads south from the gravel road that leads into the campground (just before the road reaches the camping ground).

Epic block At the orange arrow and burnt out stump head R up the hill. The best path is 3 meters before the orange arrow.

Où dormir

Lake Catani campground is nearby.

Éthique hérité de Mount Buffalo

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.

FA: Rod Young, 1979

Crack on the other side of the track from 'Plaything'.

FA: Kyle Crassini, 2000

An excellent overhanging hand crack. Was given 17 by the FA but most agree it's a couple of grades harder.

This route can be hard to locate because it faces out into the valley. The best option is to locate Homer's Butt Crack; Hand vice is the same split but in the other side of the boulder. From Homer's Butt Crack, walk back down the track to find find a gap through the boulders that you can walk through. A short scramble takes you to the route.
