neither do I, i climbed there with malcolm once on Tourniquet, and had a natural belay at the ledge before the scramble now protected by a bolt, i belayed malcolm across the ledge to the start of tourniquet where he put in a few more bits of gear for me to belay him off, then he belayed me across, this was of no inconvenience to us. from what i have seen taipain isnt completely a sport cliff, and doesnt need to be made convenient for others who cant bring a few bits of trad. just my opinion
