Hey James,
Best Intro to taipan pitches are proably Sirroco (21) and The seventh Banana (23).

Sirroco has a bolt protected crux, and a few pieces of trad. Lower off is of half a dozen slings. Quite an enjoyable route.

The Seventh Bannana, again, bolt protected crux, funky pocket pulling, then wires and cams to the top. Double bolt lower off. Seventh bannana is a great route IMO.

Hvant done annaconda or world party 1st pitches, but from what ive haerd they arnt that great. Apparently Kaa(23) is pretty hard. I think Neilo did it recently, hopefully he can let you know more.

Cheers, Phil
