So, so happy to come full circle this particular journey that has so much meaning because of Duncan and his role in my climbing and life. 10 days, but split by 17 years. So crazy. In this instance, the grade of the route has no meaning to me. But with few repeats it's probably important to at least contribute an opinion. Two of the seven previous ascentionists have suggested 31 for a pre-placed gear ascent. I'm happy enough to agree with that, noting that when this route is led placing the gear, which I see happening soon, I feel 32 is deserved. [19]

Thought I was on a different, easier route for the first half until reality and pump sunk in. Even fluked wearing a R kneepad (for the other route) that ended up being critical on this one. Sometimes you get lucky. My best onsight effort of the trip so far, and hardest onsight in years, for sure.

Biggest fight of this trip so far. Full body tufa wrestling. 1,000,000 kneebars. Would not have been pretty to watch. FA gave it 7c+ in 2016, and gets 7c+ in the Panjika guide, but 7c in the Aris guide. Probably sits somewhere in the middle, who cares, epic line reminiscent of Kalymnos Panorama sector.

I got lost and had the scariest moment of the entire route, trying to mantle a round boulder above a ledgefall in approach shoes. | 270m | Mount Buffalo | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 5th Apr 2024 | |||
When Aaron said he wanted to do this route, I didn't respond for over a week. I reeeeally didn't want to climb some coarse granite nightmare. But for that exact reason I figured it was best to say yes and get outside the old comfort zone. In the end, all the training and preparation paid dividends and despite the rain only giving us about half the climbing days we had planned and keeping one of the pitches saturated, we climbed 8 of the 9 pitches (including the crux) in 2 days and had a fantastic time doing it. A very memorable first ever trip to Buffalo. Probably can't top that, might never return.

I was able to do the roof crux with the double heels method, but in the end, as soon as I tried the kneebar, it was in the bag. 2 days [7]. |

Two mini-routes split by a cave rest, but still great - some awesome tufa features.

Not sure about the downgrade personally, and it's only going to get harder with the polish. Quite happy to have Owen and Roger's beta!

First time back here in forever. Bolt to bolt, all moves done (except watching a video later seems we climbed around the crux?). Two tries today.

This was mega. Mostly huge, Rodellar-like jugs up and through the massive overhang. Crux section was a tricky read on the brilliant white stone. [2]

Cool! Premium Monty guiding! I don't think I would have ever found the rap point. It's directly downhill from the start of the track to wind eroded cave. A green fixed rope leads down a slippery rock shelf on the way. Don't be put off by previous trip reports - recent rebolting efforts have really improved this one. It's still sporting and runout in parts, but really well worth doing.

What a ripper. Mega quest up an imposing wall with a bouldery crux. 3rd shot.

The flash was very close, the second shot was an unexplainable failure, the third shot was locker.
