Mt Buffalo Gorge - North Wall descent. 12-Dec-2008 At 9:07:47 PM macey

Message

Hi. Ive climbed at Buffalo a fair bit over the last few years though have never been on the north wall. I,ve read the guide book and have decided it will probably be a while before I can make an ascent of anything on it as the grades are out of my grasp for the time being.

What I WOULD like to do however, is rap down the wall for a bit of fun and walk out of the gorge to to be picked up by my fiance Nicci. Can anyone give me any tips on the ease of this descent, whether the rap stations are in line, how easy the track is to find and any funky little manouvres I may need to make..?
It looks reasonably straight forward in the guide, though Id appreciate any beta which would make my descent safer and easier.

Ive done multi-pitch descents before and am well experienced in the technical aspect of things, just after any helpful beta anyone has to offer.....
