Description Suggest change

The Taipan Wall is an astonishing tidal wave of the best sandstone in the universe. This could be a trad/mixed climber's heaven, except that the easiest route up the main wall is 5.12a. There are some good aid and sport climbing adventures though, as well as some shorter routes.

Assigning quality ratings to routes on this wall is difficult. The cliff centerpiece is Serpentine, but it is a climb worth flying around the world for (if such a thing exists), and most climbs on the Taipan Wall should be considered the best of what Australia has to offer.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the Stapylton summit trail all the way to the most amazing wall in the world.
