Sun 5th May 2024 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - North
27 ★ Naja pitch 1 Trad 25m
Great new bolts all the way. This is now very safe and accessible for a Taipan route. The crux jump is harder than the mirage dyno.

Started via the first two bolts of Father O. Makes for a more consistent route - at least that’s what I’m telling myself until I figure out the crux!

27 ★★★ Mirage - with danny wade, Troy McKenzie, Jimmy, Dick Lodge Mixed trad 35m, 15 ★★★ Classic
Fun route. Sneaked up this today on Troy’s gear which was awesome. This was pretty much the first route I tried on Taipan 20 odd years ago. Couldn’t do the dyno that time but got lucky this time!

  
Mon 30th Sep 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - North
29 ★★★ Angst - with danny wade Mixed trad 40m, 9 ★★★ Mega Classic
Great route. Rage section is in the most awesome position with great crimpy moves then the top half (Angst) has a number of moves that require effort in between some reasonable shake outs. Was lucky to get the gear in and send first shot as I was too pumped to have a second attempt!

Felt harder than Elongate. The tree would get in the way of a fall anywhere in the first half.

  
27 ★★ Elongate - with Jasper Snell Mixed trad 25m, 2
Not too bad for 27 despite looking desperate.

  
Sat 6th Jul 2019 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Taipan Wall - South
24 ★★ Kaa - with danny wade Mixed trad 80m, 9 ★★ Very Good
Great fun adventure. Two ropes useful but not essential. Long draws essential. Cams up to size 2. The top pitch as described steps left after the final bolt but I’ve done it twice by staying right and going up the arête which is awesome (and cleaner) at the same grade.
