Do the conga

There was a slim possibility of bagging three mornings of climbing on the trot, but Rongy had other plans for today so it was not to be. Instead, and seeing the conditions had looked not too bad yesterday afternoon, I decided on a dip. Truth be told I could drive an hour and find someContinue reading “Do the conga”

Tick off

As hinted yesterday, today was Rob’s day. He was keen to tick a few lines and continue to get his head back into the leading game. As Sam has been finding out, climbing is so much more than physical ability. The best indoor climber can come unstuck on the easiest of outdoor routes when putContinue reading “Tick off”

Time to dash

Apologies to Rob, but I’ll make it up to him tomorrow. He had asked if Howsie was keen for a session up at Welly Dam this morning, but with everything that Howsie had to organise before the big off on Sunday he declined. I wasn’t aware of that when I also suggested to Howsie thatContinue reading “Time to dash”

Over the hill

The Monadnocks Conservation Park, covering approx. 20,000ha, stretches a considerable length along the Albany Highway that runs to the south east of Perth. A place I have been to before, but just not realising what the name of the area was. The term monadnock is defined as an “isolated hill of bedrock standing conspicuously aboveContinue reading “Over the hill”

Quiet getaway areas of the Western Australia’s South West

In early 2012 I wrote an article that made into the third or fourth edition of the Australian magazine Vertical Life. The article was called Wait Awhile, named because it took time for me to transition from bagging first ascent on almost every trip out in the mighty and ancient Red Centre, to finding myContinue reading “Quiet getaway areas of the Western Australia’s South West”

Freeze-frame

Howsie will be heading off for a bit on a road trip, and time was running out to squeeze a final foray at our local crags. It is not that we haven’t got out once or twice in recent months, but it is 2023 and he has as yet not kicked off his challenge forContinue reading “Freeze-frame”

Waiting for the right moment

I have been very remiss this summer at attempting to get into the ocean for a swim with the fish. The conditions for a second year on the trot have been pretty average. The wrong type, or should I say direction, of winds resulting in the ocean never being given a real chance to properlyContinue reading “Waiting for the right moment”

Hidden delights

Life is about to change for Sam and Michaela, as they prepare to bring new life into the world. The months leading up to this point have been way busier than anticipated, and Sam told me this was likely to be the last opportunity to get out for some “him” time. Like me getting outdoorsContinue reading “Hidden delights”

A glowing report

The same four of us who rolled south to Peaceful Bay just a couple of month back were back in the car heading south this weekend. Not quite so far this time, and not even intending to hit the true south coast. It was a very lazy start, allowing us to pick up a mid-morningContinue reading “A glowing report”

That’s a wrap

Today we were heading to Wilyabrup with a crowd. Seven of us, which is more than the normal trip out. That said Kellie was, as per normal, would be heading off for a run to leave the rest of us to it. The number sadly dropped before we began, as on arrival at Capel RongyContinue reading “That’s a wrap”
