G'day all,

Steve and I were back at Buffalo this Sunday and got some awesome climbing in.

We headed up to the Monolith to check out Morpheus and the bolts on the Monolyth itself.

You can see Steve pulling some awesome jamming moves on Morpheus. He'll be a crack climber yet!

Buffalo's famous bottomless crevases between boluders almost claimed on of Nadia's climbing shoes

I decided to test the reality of the ratings of Erectomy & Hitch-Hiker, for future reference Climbs should never be sandbagged by more than 2 grades!

Though I found some awesome jamming, it seems some of the crystals maintain their form (and sharpness!)

After lunch we headed over to the Oval and Waterfall Area for some fantasticly scenic climbing (both climbs with a *, rare for buffalo!)

For the last climb of the day we got onto Wicked Solataire. Had I known there was crack this good at Buffalo last year, I would have quit early and camped up there until the rangers booted me out for scavenging in the Buffalo campsite!

Awesome, CLEAN!, laybacking. 100% recomended.

I have time for two more daytrips to Buffalo before I go & you can bet I'll be hitting more climbs like this :)
