Phil Armstrong and I climbed this beauty in Jan 77 (about the 26th) lovely weekend day trip' i remember the big offwidth crner pitch - either P3 or P4 - has something like a 6" crack in it with no choices for protection. so it was a case of whack/ place one bong in, hangeoff it; place one higher and pull the lower one out; then repeat the process for about 10m.I think this was the only piece of aid we dd not eliminate, leaving the route at 16M4 as opposed to the original 14m4 (I looked at the notes I wrote in my Mt Buffalo/Peter Watling guide to double check.). anywa if you need big gear it will be that pitch and i'd daresay that'll be whatever can bridge 6"...

Best wishes...
