Bolting at The Horn, Mount Buffalo 11-Feb-2013 At 11:01:30 PM Andrew Davis

Yeah M9, im aware of the original bolt on start of the second pitch that goes through that tight pinch. I think few climb that route, but thats a pretty unique little crux that often jams a sling or some climbers try to leave some old faded tape threaded there, and naive climbers use it or cut it off the following year. Others start up LHV then try to step across. The decision to remove it i dont think has made much difference either way as i understand its placement was pretty awkward. Instead turn left up LHV or right around the corner up Big Fun are the best lines to follow.

Your other points i don't follow and im starting to think you just like to argue for the sake of it. Please name a few more classic trad lines in the area of the Horn we are talking about, I could give you a dozen sport climbs that have been there a long time.
