Ascents of Atomic Tadpole

Cool to do something on this end of the wall. A really cool easier tradventure. Getting off was unexpectedly involved (soloing down into the chimney behind to eventually reach a rap station).

Warm up

A great long pitch to say you have climbed on taipan. Good gear the whole way with a bomber wire on the last head wall protecting the tricky and reachy finish.

Seconded Jenga. A mega moderate adventurous trad route. Varied climbing abounds. A funky finger crack. Rad roof. Easy slab and heady mega headwall. Almost a classic and heaps of good gear. Get on it!

First pitch crack is really nice.

nice line and even nicer that i could avoid the crack! lead the first pitch only which is about grade 19. crux moves on the steep headwall of last pitch but it's certainly not as "committing" as the guide book claims it to be. watch out for rope jam on the rap descent or else you'll have to jug back up like i did! thanks rich!
