In view of not seeing too much off the local beach I headed to another section of the beach on Monday afternoon, still within Peppermint Grove Beach but requiring a bit of a car journey to get there. Wave Walk offers a narrow and very shallow reef right off the beach, after that there isContinue reading “The freezer”

A trip down memory lane
Jake was hankering to get some leading in so I offered to hold his rope up at Welly Dam. Much as he was keen to head to Bob’s this second option allowed me to make a slightly shorter day of it, considering I had been out with Howsie just yesterday. In addition there are heapsContinue reading “A trip down memory lane”
A seal of approval
It was Howsie’s last trip out to climb in South West for 2020, and his last chance to have a crack at the only grade 20 that he has not had a bash at climbing. After a blistering week leading up to and including Christmas day, it was a relief that the weekend was coolingContinue reading “A seal of approval”
Assisted breathing
Needless to say I have been having a dip in the ocean over the last few days, and not wanting to head out in the car all of my swims on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and finally Boxing Day have been off my local beach. The morning of Christmas Eve was busy on the beach,Continue reading “Assisted breathing”
Swimming for play and work
On Monday this week I headed out to see what I could find, this time I decided to go down to the Capel River mouth and snorkel in the wide bay. Driving along there are glimpses of the ocean, and it was not looking as good as I had hoped. Our local beach is relativelyContinue reading “Swimming for play and work”
Sunset cruise
After a day hanging about at home, going for a snorkel and chilling out watching a bit of TV with Lisa it was hard to motivate myself to pack up the car and head south. Kym and I had been scheming a trip out for quite a while now, and on this occasion I hadContinue reading “Sunset cruise”
Heading in opposite directions
With two weeks off from work, a hot week leading up to Christmas and encouraged not only by the conditions down at Moses Rocks where I climbed yesterday, but also at our local beach that I had checked out on my return from the climb, I decided it was time to break the ice (orContinue reading “Heading in opposite directions”
Old Friend
It seems like it has been a while since I have been back to the crag that always feels like an old friend to me. So with the help of Jaime that was rectified today. It’s a traditional style place with mostly lower to mid-grade routes, but despite the lower grades it seems to strikeContinue reading “Old Friend”
Under pressure
Eight weeks back, while everyone was out, a $30 hose burst under a sink in our house. The water damage resulted in having to rip out 60% of the flooring in the house. So began an unplanned complete house re-flooring and painting project, which required us to pack up the entire house and live inContinue reading “Under pressure”
A different perspective
The interested crew this week steadily grew as the week progressed, and the band of two that I was expecting to be out swelled to six. So it was that on this overcast morning, soon after 6, three ropes were up. Rongy, Jaime and Jake wandered off to find Verbosity while Alan was keen toContinue reading “A different perspective”
