Hello,

Looking for any information on Big Bluff on the Buffalo river. I saw something about a three pitch aid route on it, and was looking for a topo, or contacts for the guys who put it up.

Thanks,

I was snooping around for this info not too long ago. all the answers i got were that its some sketchy ass stuff. I think its been done, but that is some steep, chossy limestone.

Thanks JD,

Saw there was a guy on RC.com, that had tried the first pitch twice, but backed off. Sent him a message, but the last time he had logged on was in 2009? or so.

Still looks interesting though, one man's trash is another's treasure. Have you climbed in that area any? They were talking about some other sections of cliff that were 200'?

Well I've climbed on the sandstone all over that area. There's some short DWS on the limestone in the river that i know of. I believe there a couple of 200 ft. limestone routes at painter's bluff that are completely bolted, but thats on the white river.
