Seasonal access (06-12 to 09-15)

About Mount Buffalo — The Horn

The Horn is the highest point of the Mount Buffalo plateau, and the granite crags and boulders around the end of the Horn Road give shorter routes, some bolted, in a high, open mountain setting. It is a good introduction to Buffalo granite. At about 1,600m it is fully exposed to wind and sun, often several degrees colder than the Gorge, and some lines are mossy. Approaches are short from the Horn car park, but bush-bashing to some crags is slow. The road is closed every winter.
