Owen leading Beowulf (18), South side of The Gorge, Mt Buffalo. This delightful tips only layback is awesome trad climbing. With a bomber rest mid-way and good gear it's a short route, well recommended. Footage shot from above.
Owen leading Peroxide Blonde (20), The Horn, Mt Buffalo. * Peroxide Blonde (4 Meg, 1 min 5 seconds)
Owen leading Peroxide Blonde (20), The Horn, Mt Buffalo. Thin slabbing along a sharp arête, that drops away on the left leaving the climber slide pulling with delicate smears. Bolted all the way and with an amazing backdrop, this is one of the mounts more popular short routes.

Michael leading This Is Not Our Land (19), Dreamworld, Horn Area, Mt Buffalo. Glorious jug hauling bar two small cruxes, the last and hardest just shy of the top out, this is one well bolted short, but sweet climb.
