Mt Buller Ice Climbing Guide 26-May-2007 At 10:21:18 PM ice

Message

The "guide" is good for an overview of whats on offer in a good season. However, ice climbing at Buller is really a "watch the weather" proposition. Basically if the temp is low enough to get a freeze after a fine spell (melt), the go for it while you can. You usually only get a handful of good days a year for ideal conditions. Just be prepared to put in a couple of "sickies" at work, at short notice. The only way to get a good spell at climbing real ice in AUS is to go to Blue Lake in August/early September. If you can spare 1-2 weeks to ski in and camp in the area, you won't be dissapointed.
