Description
The highest place to climb at 'Buffalo' with a good range of excellent routes. Super easy access up the tourist track to the huge lookout.
Useful Info: Best Routes:
Big Fun (15**)
'The Pintle' Left Hand Varient (16**)
Hoi Polloi (16*)
Peroxide Blonde (20**) - would get 3 stars if it was longer.
*Please use the two new carrot bolts to rap into Big Fun/Peroxide Blonde/The Pintle LHV rather than going off the lookout handrails as the rangers will get quite antsy if you do.
*Don't forget bolt plates as almost all the bolts are carrot style (no hangers).
© (jgoding)Ethic inherited from 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.

This area is for adventure climbing and for those that love the higher mountain landscapes and rock formations that are unique to the area. Mt Buffalo offers both single and multi-pitch climbs and mainly uses trad gear for protection but there is the odd sport climb around for those that only want to clip bolts.
