After missing out on our recent trip to Bobs Hollow, Howsie was keen to get out this weekend to get back into it with thoughts on maybe hitting one or two grade 21s. With that in mind we headed to the Northern Blocks of Wilyabrup, which has four grade 21s. Two I’ve led, one IContinue reading “Taking the lead”

Fingers crossed
By all accounts it had been a very sensible move on Lisa and my part to stay home over Easter. The roads had been insanely busy and there were tales of trips to local places taking twice the time or more to get too, if you were unlucky. To avoid the tourists I also hadn’tContinue reading “Fingers crossed”
In orderly fashion
Keen to get out after a two week break from climbing, Tomski was the only person to bite when I put the word out. The original plan was to go on Sunday but cyclone Seroja was nearing the northern coast of Western Australia, and despite being close to 800km south of where it will hitContinue reading “In orderly fashion”
Reset time
In late 2017 I started to build my boulder wall with the help of Craig, and it was Craig and Geoff that then helped me set the 150 odd holds I had bought. Looking back at the post (https://sandbagged.blog/2019/01/06/finally-my-boulder-wall/) the wall looked shiny and new but also the spread of holds looked very sparse. IContinue reading “Reset time”
Up close and personal
With light breezes and a low swell continuing into Sunday, and after seeing the awesome conditions down the coast at Bob’s Hollow, it would have been crazy not to have jumped in the water today. Geoff had said he had a late night and was not up for a dip, despite me trying to convinceContinue reading “Up close and personal”
The cavemen
Dan finally made it over from Melbourne to visit his family, and as is the usual custom we took the opportunity to organise a day out on rock. This time Jo stayed in Melbourne busy with work. His trip to the west has been an on again, off again situation for the obvious reasons andContinue reading “The cavemen”
One too many
It felt like it had been forever since I had climbed at Wilyabrup, but looking back it has only been a mere two months. On that trip we climbed with three. Ash, having his first bash at trad leading, and Jaime happy to second up nearly anything. Today I headed back with Tomski and Jaime,Continue reading “One too many”

Driving home from work on Tuesday it felt warm and the leaves on the trees weren’t showing any signs of movement. So before pulling into our driveway I did a quick loop up over the hill to see what the water was looking like. Flat and clear, so it seemed, so I got home kittedContinue reading “More reading material”
Barren ground
Midweek, on arrival home from the climbing trip down south it was unusually humid. Cloud hung in the sky each day and it felt sticky. It seems that our summer and now autumn will continue to be a bit out of character. Humidity is the type of weather that I struggle with, making me feelContinue reading “Barren ground”
Battling the elements
Almost a year in the making and Rongy and I were ready to hit the road, the reason for such a long period of planning being that this five day trip was to celebrate a soon to arrive major birthday of his. But also it had started off with grand plans to head to ArapilesContinue reading “Battling the elements”
