등정들 Taipan Wall - South에서 Flash로서

got the gear beta from Graham and got pretty pumped but managed to hold it together for the flash. definitely easier if you're tall. Pretty stoked to be getting back into the ropes again.

Sick warm up!! First taipanie route!

Total dream send. A very high quality rock climb! Huge thanks to Liz for the gear and excellent beta. Super duper psyched!

A really great adventure. Loved it! Didn't stop at any anchors, just kept on going..

What an excellent line!!! I've only done the first pitch. With Matt's quickdraws already in place and his beta (kneebar!!!) I was able to flash it. Awesome

P1 only

Much harder than invisible fist 26?

Wow. What a pitch! Unequaled in quality. Linked into P2 for a giant megapitch of awesome, belayed from the ground with an 80m rope. Had worked P2, but not P3, so on ticking P2 I just kept climbing, battling tooth and nail the whole way. Once you leave the stance below the roof, this pitch is immaculate steep water-scoop slopers, stemming, and "get up it however you can" climbing. Quite runout, but safe as houses falls. Incredibly exposed. Aesthetic. Perfect rock.

Pitch 1 only to get to the belay for the Money Pitch. I didn't mind this in a clasically awkward trad kind of way. 4 bits of gear in the entire pitch (including the bolt) - thanks Goshen! The moves back left after the offwidth flake are particularly tenuous and memorable.

Introduction to Taipan. Done on Paul's placed gear

Looks like a short doddle.... it's not!

Kind of fun and a good adventure. Take lots of long draws.

What a route! Doesn't get much better.

Really sweet. All 3 pitches in one rope dragging nightmare. The top 24 pitch is one of the best. Feel the joy

Sickness!! Taipan is king!! Thanks zac for the running beta. Split my tip on first burn on groove train. Zac bush walked it in the smeg. Super inspiring. Can't wait to have another go

Mick went first and I just used his gear. Bit of fun.

Great climbing.

Will have to work my way up!

Killer groove, incredible!

The best pitch I did here. Thanks phil_nev for the beta!

You get up in that scoop and its funny how pumped you feel, AWESOME fun.

Fun enough with a giant KNEE at the top.

Mantle centrale

woohoo!!! My first 26 flash!
