A quick check of the guidebooks suggests don't come to South Australia for quality 11s. Arguably the best 11 in the Adelaide Hills is Frontignac in Onkaparinga Gorge. The best 11 I've climbed at Moonarie is Tree Beard, but in the best tradition of the Moon it felt very stiff at the grade. Our best 11 just might be Funcrack at Point Bonney, a little to the north of Moonarie and considerably tougher to access. It's a 90m climb up corner systems done in 1967 and, from the photo, looks to be a pretty robust outing. Doubt if it's been ticked by many Chockstoners - I'll climb it next winter and see how it stacks up to the Arapiles 11s!

Speaking of which, my votes are 1. Didgeridoo 2. Blockbuster 3. Piccolo.
