We were in for another warm day, and while we weren’t the first at the carpark we were the first at the crag. The occupants of the two cars already parked up were still in slumber land as we walked in. It’s been an abnormally hot summer, a record breaking one with more individual daysContinue reading “Keeping cool”

A long time coming
Being the last week of my go slow January, and due to having a public holiday in the middle of the week, I took Thursday and Friday off to really chill out. It’s going to be a bit of a rude awakening next week, when it is back to the five days week. But IContinue reading “A long time coming”
Light as a feather
Australia Day means different things to different people. Some see it as a celebration and some as sad reminder of when things went south. For Steve, Rongy and I, yet another public holiday provided us with an opportunity to get away from it all, at least for the morning. We instead immersed ourselves in theContinue reading “Light as a feather”
A woolly head tonic
Hot, hot, hot was the forecast and while Rongy was keen to get out for a climb, he was also eyeing up the chance of jumping in the water for a snorkel afterwards. So we decided on a quick climb at Smiths Beach followed by a dip in the ocean. Even though we were planningContinue reading “A woolly head tonic”
Sleep swimming
My last, what I would call successful, snorkel was when I abandoned our local beach and headed to Bunbury to escape the South Western Stingers (stingers). That was not quite four weeks back, but it feel like so much longer. It may feel so much longer, as I have taken leave from work during thisContinue reading “Sleep swimming”
Finger licking
Being January it is the summer school holiday and Lisa is enjoying the time off. I also tend to ease into the new year with four day weeks, allowing my January to be a bit more relaxed. It has become a bit of a tradition, and the three day weekends are very welcome. It’s aContinue reading “Finger licking”
A welcome change
When Lisa and I came to Australia we spent a lot of time going out bush camping, walking and climbing. Not just in Central Australia, where we lived for close to five years, but also travelling to Queensland, South Australia and Victoria. Something that struck us was that everywhere we went, no matter how remoteContinue reading “A welcome change”
Kicking myself
It seems to be becoming a bit of a broken record when I say I headed out with Mario during his road to recovery. With a succession of injuries having plagued him during 2021, his New Year wish should be pretty obvious. Today was his first roped climb since we headed out to Mount Cuthbert,Continue reading “Kicking myself”
Hazard control
Christmas Day crept up on us. The household no longer explodes into feverish excitement at the first sign of light, eager to see if the big man had been. So I was hoping to have a morning dip. Although, after a quick walk over the dunes to check the conditions, it was clear that itContinue reading “Hazard control”
Cooling off time
The temperatures have been soaring in the south west of Western Australia over Christmas, and with a week of hot days forecast some might question the sense in heading out for a climb. It was already 26 degrees when I left the house at 4:30, making me think that a 5:30 meet at the carparkContinue reading “Cooling off time”
