Sunday morning came in a bit strange. Lisa drove in for her fitness class in soupy fog and it was still lingering when she got back mid-morning. So instead of going for a snorkel I was up for a beach walk with Lisa and the dogs. Blue sky crept in and it looked like itContinue reading “Garden ornaments”

Staying in control
After a fun session of climbing at Castle Rock, Tomski, Jaime and I walked back to the car and as we walked I pondered whether the water conditions made it worth jumping in for a snorkel. It was hard to say as there looked to be a bit of swell, but the only way toContinue reading “Staying in control”
The tyranny of numbers
During the week Tomski hinted that after this weekend he may be leaving the south west and heading up to Perth, soon after intending to fly home to Israel. For that reason, and seeing it was a long weekend, I suggested that we could head out this morning despite also heading out on Monday forContinue reading “The tyranny of numbers”
The glass house
Friday night after work Lisa and I took the poodles for a walk down to the beach. The sunset was incredible, tendrils of the sole cloud bank stretched across the sky and turned yellow, orange and finally a fiery red as the sun dipped below the horizon. We stood watching the amazing show but IContinue reading “The glass house”
Taking the lead
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”
