About Mount Buffalo — The Gorge (South Side)

The South Side of the Gorge at Mount Buffalo faces north across to the North Wall, with sunny granite buttresses and walls such as Angels Buttress and the Isotope Wall, and easier grades than the big wall opposite. Approach from the hang-glider car park near the Chalet by the South Side track (about 30 minutes down), or abseil in from the hang-glider ramp rather than down the gully, to protect the vegetation. The sunny aspect dries the rock quickly after rain, but this is still a 1,250m alpine plateau: carry warm layers and water, and expect fog and sudden changes.
