Begehungen in North West als Red point, Lead solo, Lead, Onsight, Pink point oder Flash von Mitch Perkins

Quite a novel route, actually clipped the chains the day before but fell off the final “finishing” holds. Got it done next day so I’d sleep better

First had a play on this a few years ago and got the standard Taipan scared. Felt great to return much stronger and after a beta refresh lap get it sorted next shot. Soo good!

Bouldery start to some steep jugging and pumpy clips.

Boxed the cruxy reach move on first shot. Second shot. One day I might be strong enough to attempt the big boy version, Jenga made it look awesome!

Had the advantage of watching a couple of people before my attempt, definitely helped. Was well pumped when it came time to clip the anchor, one more draw fumble and it would have been quite the exciting whip.

Done on pre-placed gear, bouldery start to juggy finale

Pretty ideal warm up for EOTT really, the traverse part anyway. Great climb!

Nearly binned it at the crux but managed to work out the sequence, just. Much jugging!

Nice warm-up

Fantastic warm-down. The jugs just keep coming to a tricky move up high.

Love this route, second shot after sussing my (non Jenga) beta, favourite of the day for sure.

Didnt quite have the meltdow, but definitely one of the trickiest moves I did the whole trip.

Nice gentle intro to Millenium.

Has some of the biggest and smallest holds at Millenium. Just keep trucking.

Bit of bluies edging to use a different part of the fingers not often needed on Taipan.

Up Ben's pre placed gear. Great corner section.

Been on the goal list for some years now, did not disappoint. Was a bit worried working through the crux on my working lap and leaving wet fingerprints on all the slimpers, but thankfully the connies improved and got it done second shot. Foot pop one hold from final jug made me go from 50% to 110% in an instant, thankfully a couple of shakes sorted me out.

Really fun pockety Climbing, keep your feet out of the wetness

Fantastic Climbing, great sequency moves through the crack then an exciting headwall finalè

Nice to stretch out after the long haul drive.

Pretty techy for 20, but fun nonetheless

Lots of hold options off the deck, choose wisely and enjoy the ride.

sent second shot after Jenga sussed out some beta. An awesome way to end a great week! Never thought i'd enjoy a comfortable shake out on a mono!

the direct line on pre-placed gear made this feel more like a short sport line. great fun though!

Happy to send Megos' warmup second shot. Wasn't to confident after a long belay session sent my body back to freezing but plenty of decent rests along the way defintely helped!

watched Matty head up this first so could tell when you had to drop the hammer! great climbing!

What a great climb! cool wandery line with a great finish!

Meant to get on Weaveworld first and forgot to take the left at Albuquerque! Great climb nonetheless!

the days warm up in one of the days many showers! good fun fridge hugging moves to warm up the shoulders

Introduction to Taipan. Done on Paul's placed gear

short, punchy number at the end of the day.

Awesome climbing! great bouldery moves.

First climb of the trip and what a great way to start!

had a birds eye view of Paul refining his crux beta so had the advantage for the flash!

Definitely one of a kind! Only in the Gramps could you bolt a line like this.
