Awesome climb ! Got a bit spooked by some fiddly gear, but still went up it in questionable style . One to come back to.

Seconded it to clean the gear. None of the move are too hard but there is a lot of climbing. Still a bit beyond me.

tough warm up, especially with part of the route wet... Some dubious rock on the left after the ledge.

Exciting traverse, I could just reach the crimp from the start. Good face climbing. Interesting way to get on

Thin gear. Committed to the wrong sequence at the crux. Cool move at the top

 
20 Christian Crack - with thara Trad 13m Classic
This one got me working a bit, not the best warm up. Very happy with the onsight though

 
18 The Rack - with thara Trad 13m Classic
Nice jamming at the top, shame it's only a short section.

Pulling on good hold, a bit like climbing in the gym

Great layback start, felt easier than it looked. Tricky finish. First 22 !

 
23 Milk Blood - with thara Trad 10m Very Good
Fell and rested a fair bit on gear. Everything felt a bit desperate, awesome climbing on great finger lock. One to come back to

Epic rope drag ... Rock on the start seems a bit suspect. Good warm up otherwise.

 
20 Blue Hawaii - with thara Trad 35m Very Good
Flash it on pre placed gear, although I added a cam to back up the crappy nut before the crux. Really nice interesting climbing.

26 Archimedes' Principle Mixed trad 60m, 2 Mega Classic
Managed to do the moves up through the crux with multiple rest and a few whipper but too tired to carry on to the top. I'll need to get used to the style and get my endurance up. Amazing route !

 
22 Archimedes Principle P1 Trad 20m Good
A bit reachy but some cool move, flashed on pre-placed gear.

a punchy one, the move of the ledge is a bit tricky for short people. Not sure if easy for the grade as I don't have much experience on this type of climbing at the grade

15 Thor Trad 98m Very Good
First pitch maybe a bit stiff at the grade, or maybe that was just me not used to Moonarie yet. Chains at the top of 1st picth

Consistent good climbing all the way. The hand traverse is awesome

21 Goldfinger Trad 35m Good
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

First pitch is a nice intro to Angels style, although a bit too wide in place. Second pitch is crap really. Chris linked both pitches.

Glad for the #5 cam this time, my endurance being shit I got a bit pumped but managed to push through and keep it together. Great line.

23 Dont spare the horses - with Chris Harper Sport 15m, 6 Good
Chris sandbagged us by putting the draw on the wrong climb, 23 slabs is still a bit beyond me, or maybe it was too hot for my shoes to stick on some of the small knobs.

 
20 Home James - with Chris Harper Mixed trad 30m, 4 Very Good
Awesome face climbing on Dykes. Bolting is a bit spaced but where you need them, and takes a bit of gear as well

Did it in 2 pitches. 1st one is good fun with various jamming and bridging. 2 second one felt desperate, the overhanging groove is hard, rested on gear a bit.

Nice Journey, fell off the second pitch due to wet shoe. Fell off the third pitch on second, due to runnel/crack being wet. We mostly climb the slab on the right for the third pitch.

First pitch (left variant) not great, maybe the right variant is better. Second pitch is an awesome sustained corner. we cleaned the grass so it's quite nice now, but still a bit mossy. Found the last pitch hard for the grade, compared to the other 21 I did at buffalo (maybe 22?) This pitch is still a bit grassy, but there is now a stuck nut above the last belay. Great route though.
