Climbs on this 80m high slab are a good introduction to Twin Stream climbing.
To descend, scramble down an easy gully, abseil, or continue along the ledge system to the Southerly Front Slab.
Topo below (L to R): Moon Rise, Moon Struck, Titan, Moonshine Buttress.
The slab cannot be seen from the campsite but is a short walk up the scree.
Routes
| Reference | Title | Grade | Length | Pro | Quality | Alert | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moon Rise, 17 | 17 | 80m | 5  |
||||
Follow the line of bolts up the centre of the fan, but don’t forget your rack. Bolt belay.
Continue to the top and another bolt belay. |
|||||||
| Moon Struck, 17 | 17 | 80m | 5 |
||||
Climb the crack using natural protection, then step left and past two bolts (crux) to reach the bolt belay.
Climb past bolts and occasional protection to the top. |
|||||||
| Titan, 19 | 19 | 80m | |
||||
A direct line through cave and out through the roof.
Climb directly up the pillar above. A variant joins this pitch by moving right out of Moon Struck above the cave. |
|||||||
| Moonshine Buttress, 16 | 16 | 70m | |
||||
Good climbing on mostly good rock. From the base of the buttress, follow the ledge system rightwards until a steep move can be made past the overlap. Move up and left and follow a crack system up the front of the buttress to a sloping ledge and bolt belay.
Carry on up the crack system. Go up a groove, or step left onto a ledge to follow the exposed arête. Both options lead to a step through an overlap to the final short wall. An awkward bolt belay is just over the top of the face. Abseil descent. |
|||||||
| Reservoir Chocks, 17 | 17 | 0m | |
||||
Climb the prominent chimney in the bay before Half Moon Slab proper is reached. Bolt belay.
Continue in the chimney system to the Southerly Front ledge. Bolt belay. |
