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”
Running out of time
Getting up at 3:30am to go to my closest crag reminded me of 2016. Howsie and I worked in the same building, different organisations but cohoused, and we hit upon the idea of having a before work climb once a week. After all, Welly Dam was a mere half hour drive from the office soContinue reading “Running out of time”
A one horse race
Fresh from my week long trip down south I was busting to hit the local crags, and in response to my call out Glen, Jamie and Ash all stuck their hands up for a bit of adventure. I knew immediately it wouldn’t be a trip of bagging lot so routes, nor anything necessarily hard. ButContinue reading “A one horse race”
South Coast Revisited
In March 2008 Andrew, Howsie, Rongy And I set off for a weeklong trip to the South Coast. It was for them the first long climbing trip, and while it does not come up in regular conversation it is something that stuck in their minds. I discovered just how much that trip meant to themContinue reading “South Coast Revisited”
Ten years on
It was close to ten years to the date that the three of us first stayed at the Mount Trio Bush Camp in the Stirling Ranges. On that first visit, in the school holidays, the place felt deserted and in subsequent years word of mouth did its job and the place got busier and busier. Continue reading “Ten years on”
The reward
For those that have been following my posts you will know that Craig and I don’t bother with birthday presents, instead opting to take each other out for a climb. Craig jested that maybe I should find a climb that is the same grade as half my age, and I knew exactly what he wasContinue reading “The reward”
Creepy crawlies
I’ve been told off once or twice before when I have included an image of something that some people have been less than comfortable with seeing without prior notice. So this is an upfront warning that there is a bug or two in this one, including one of our eight legged friends. Yesterday I handedContinue reading “Creepy crawlies”
