ODH- minimal bolts, natural pro is preferred. Just planning for slabby sections. Also taking into account of Mt Buffalo bolting history and not over bolting lines, make it exciting but safe. Not really looking at it as a bold explorer but hoping to put up a long more adventurous/ maybe multiday route that is enjoyable for myself, friends as well as those climbers out there that enjoy putting a bit of effort into getting to climbs.

it is multipitch.

First few pitchs look to go on natural gear.

Middle pitches - need to be reccied more, so planning to rap in from the top, early days now just planning everything before heading in after winter.
