Ascensiones en Mount Buffalo como Tick o First ascent

Abseiled to Big Grassy from lookout. Fixed the ab rope to belay at the end of pitch 6 (before traverse left) and at nice belay on arête after the corner on pitch 5 on the way down.

Pretty rad to be down playing on this wall. Not sure how many opportunities i’ll have to try the route whilst working on this film about Duncan with Tristan and Tom for TNF but was cool to have a play as Duncan rested. Seconded pitch one first go which was pretty chill and then did three back to back laps on the 25 pitch. I went up it first to figure it out and fell off a few times, came down to the stance just above the balancy start and climbed from there to the top but figured I should do it properly so lowered back down to the belay and did it pulling the rope through the grigri the whole time which was a bit brutal. Hopefully it feels easier on lead.

Abseiled into big grassy! 1 shivering night on the ledge, freed 90% despite dogging every pitch other then the 24 and the troll toll hole to sunshine glory. Dave really was the MVP - the power of friendship got this one done! A little above my pay grade but stoked to aim to free this rig with little to no climbing of late

Wanted to see what a 27 on granite felt like. Spoiler alert: HARD!

Couldn’t figure out the last bolt, but got the rest. Also gave me an excuse to run another lap of Lift Ladies

A big undertaking (13 pitches)!! Desperately needs a few dodgy screw-in bolts replaced on pitches 2 and 3.

Excvellent sport route, hard last move and hard 1st move

Interesting and very hard

Definately a mixed-bag adventure. P1 - O/S, okay climbing up a left leaning corner crack, but extremely mossy, dirty and vegetated. P2 - 2nd Clean, balancy and techy off belay, hard flared crack to stance, and sustained technical jamming to the belay. A bit dirty but still climbable. P3 - Dog, one BIG fall between last 2 bolts on committing steep layback. Very spaced bolts and gear. Consistant, sustained and varied climbing on this looong wandery pitch. Balancy and mossy towards the top.

First pitch was no worries. Second pitch took a bit of figuring out. Did the roof section, but flailed up the wall.

Lead p2 as part of the aid fiesta with a plush rack of c4 3*4", 1*4.5, 1*5, 1*6 practiced lower out, re-aid and steep hugging for the second. Good route to practice steep/traverse clean aid. Not sure which numpty put in the bolts at the top. The lower out tat on the belay is probably overdue for a change over (or maybe quicklink?).

Topped it cause the bolts looked a bit dodgy

took a few goes

This is an excellent pitch of climbing.

It was brushed feb 2022

Did first ascent of this back in Dec '89. More recently added a direct start and retro-bolted and straightened the top and added rap/belay anchors. Now much better!

Hard, exciting finish. Hangers don't fit on bolts properly, take wires to clip

Can't really remember this one...must have been ok at least!

seconded Ant 1982

Aided over two days. First grade V. An adventure!

First time aid climbing and actually the first time weighting trad gear! Lead the 2nd half of pitch two and freed the final two pitches. An excellent 2 day affair!

Grade V Goodness. So epic, so amazing.

Second top pitch from above the bulge at 21ish.

Needs 'some' gardening

Lead P1, P2 on sat. Slept on portaledge. Lead P3 Sunday. Then bailed up our fixed line to the top due to our slowness.

A really great route, has it all. If the dyno start doesn't look like your flavor then tension traverse across to the crack as the rest of the route is incredible. Alternatively, climb Caligula (corner to the left) up to the slab then transfer across right into the easier crack to enjoy the seam on pitch two, but you'd be cheating yourself. Sustained jamming and thin seam traversing, well protected with thin gear. A good gauge if your thinking of doing hard rain as the difficulty is comparable.

Note: The picture draws the traverse on pitch two a little low, its after that tree from memory, but its pretty hard to miss the seam.

Hard slab, very slick and small rock
