	19	★★★ Pine Crack - with Gerry Narkowicz 1 19 35m lead by Gerry Narkowicz 2 19 30m lead by Paul Frothy Thomson	Trad 65m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 14th Apr 2019
Absolutely brilliant. Aesthetically, rock-quality, and from a pure climbing perspective, this has to be one of the best gear routes at the grade I've climbed in Australia. Pitch 1 rivals Ramadan (at Ben Lomond) for quality, though they are stylistically different. Kinda intimidating at the grade, but worth every moment. The run-out taipan-esque bridging away from the gear on P1, and thugging out through the roof on P2 are very memorable.
	19	★★★ Pine Crack - with Raife Gehren 1 19 lead by Alex MacAdam 2 19 lead by Raife Gehren	Trad 65m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Alex MacAdam	Mon 6th Jul 2020
What a line! Think I preferred this to Downwind. Fantastic thought-provoking climbing through occasional run-outs. Spectacular bridging. What an airy roof on the second pitch. Descent is via a 60m rap off to the right.

New favourite Moonarie route! tricky and dusty start for sure; had to take on my first red cam, come down and try again. sustained (sandbagged) and unique climbing, followed by an epic belay ledge and wonderful roof to start the second. scenic as!

nice route for sure

I didn't know what this was but launched up it anyway. Worthwhile for sure.
	24	★★ The Passenger - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Mixed trad 55m, 6	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Emil Mandyczewsky	Mon 22nd Apr 2019
Very low end 24 if it is indeed that grade. Cool slopey climbing whereby the hard bits are over in the first 3 bolts and the rest is varied and interesting. Single cams up to 0.75 camalot is all the gear you'll need.
	24	★★ Bloodnut - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Trad 25m	Moonarie	★ Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 22nd Apr 2019
A great thin main crux, and lots of other hard moves, but also lots of rubbish rock. I thought this was very hard at the grade, and I power-screamed up it.

Our expectations were high (due to the 3 stars in the guide) and we were a bit disappointed in the rock and the 'keep right' description
	21	★★ Mr Ordinary	Mixed trad 55m, 10	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Gareth Llewellin	Sun 28th Oct 2012
Really great!
	21	★★ Mr Ordinary	Mixed trad 55m, 10	Moonarie	★ Good	Thomas Boehm	Thu 17th Apr 2014
Cool climb. Last move was tricky
	21	★★ Goldfinger	Trad 35m	Moonarie	★ Good	gaetan	Fri 10th Apr 2015
Had a bit of trouble following the line, but cool moves. I used a wire between 1st and 2nd bolt (flake looks a bit dubious) and a small cam higher up. Could do with some extra bolt so gear is not needed
	21	★★ The Big Picture - with Adam Straw	Trad 50m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Chris	Sun 9th Aug 2015
Would have been better if the quality didn't deteriorate. The start is brilliant. Small holds and bog moves with heaps of pro. Broke it into two pitches. Adam lead from the large ledge up a 10m face to top out.
	21	★★ Goldfinger - with Rob Baker	Trad 35m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Garth Wimbush	Sat 29th Sep 2018
Interesting crux.
	21	★★ Mr Ordinary - with Gerry Narkowicz	Mixed trad 55m, 10	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Tue 23rd Apr 2019
Onsighted both pitches, thought both were hard at the grade, but very worthy. P1 is a cryptic techy thin arete, and p2 is an aesthetic set of steep scoops with a thin crux.
	21	★★ The Big Picture - with Gerry Narkowicz	Trad 50m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Tue 23rd Apr 2019
Beautiful face epic on gear. Questing into the void above gear is great, though the rock isnt as perfect as elsewhere at moonarie. Worth a lap for sure.
	21	★★ Mr Ordinary	Mixed trad 55m, 10	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Adam Straw	Fri 26th Apr 2019
Seconded Tom up the super techy and fun first pitch. Had a really good fight to stay on P2. Got to the chains absolutely boxed!
	21	★★ The Big Picture - with Jimmy	Trad 50m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Gee Rad	Mon 13th May 2019

Did the whole thing as a single pitch and cleaned on rap. Both of which were less than ideal. Two distinctly different and enjoyable pitches but not overall a classic to me.

Alt. leads with Mike, Paolo as the third. P1 super insecure but good, P2 a bit wandery but good. Belayed from chains on P1 without issue

Even though I didn't get the most out of the moon this time due to injury, this climb was amazing maybe slightly soft? The gift that keeps on giving, 2nd pitch was beautiful 😍

This climb was unreal. The crack climbing was nice and the little run out in the scoops was fun. The direct version looked hard, so I didn't go for it. Next time. Second pitch was excellent. Adam did a great job pulling through that overhang. Bailed after second pitch using rap anchor about 5m right of top of crack.

Such a brilliant line that screams at you to be climbed from bottom camp. Awesome lead by Chris through the runout scoop on the first pitch. Second pitch was super intimidating but not that bad once I sacked up and engaged my inner beefcake.
