Buffalo Ice 26-Nov-2002 At 11:20:32 AM Andy

I know it's now the wrong time of the year but having only just found this site, such is life. Just though i'd let people know about the ice at Buffalo. Yes thats right "ice!" If your one of those silly peolpe like myself who try to find ice in Victoria well heres another place to try. I did about three trips this winter and found ice on the Cathedral, the Hump and the Horn. Most of it is either frozen snow or verglassed rock but is non the less worth a visit. I just bouldered the routes which are between 5 - 20 meters in length and can be up to vertical. The Best ice was on the ski lift side of the Hump. So with Buffalo, Mt Buller west ridge, Pollux outcrop, Feathertop and a possibility of Mt Tabletop near Dinner Plain, Victoria has some worthy ice sites, at least for the desperate!
