Hoping to book a few campsites at Lake Catani over the cup weekend once Parks Vic opens bookings for the season - nothing better than a cold dip in the lake and a hot shower after a days climbing!
I want to climb some classic routes such as ★★★ Sultan (https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/buffalo/the-cathedral/route/11984707) [3 pitch, 20] and ★★★ Maharajah (https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/buffalo/the-cathedral/route/11985091) [2 pitch, 17] at The Cathedral, ★★★ Where Angels Fear to Tread (https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/buffalo/the-gorge-south-side/route/13008907) [5 pitch, 17] - 200m of sustained crack?! - at Angel's Buttress, and get my tick on ★★★ Peroxide Blonde (https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/buffalo/the-horn/route/13033399) [20] at The Horn.
Bring your slab shoes and your crack gloves!
See you all there!
