This morning started in a house full of stairs, it was a house on stilts high above the ocean and the water below was angry and menacing with crashing waves. I found a strange shaped bottle of what looked to be a boutique beer, and downed it. Unbeknown to me it was made from magicContinue reading “Seventies style”

Going solo, but not alone
After two sessions of pulling plastic over the last week I have been feeling pretty whacked, and while I’ve highlighted the two boulder sessions there are probably a few factors at play. So when there seemed little chance of anyone else being available to head out this weekend, I was undecided. But my rock fetishContinue reading “Going solo, but not alone”
Farewell to winter
September marks the start of spring and so Rongy came up with the idea of having a winter food farewell feast. One last gorge on all that comfort food that is so welcoming on a cold wintery day, before we supposedly transition to the more healthy options that we are more likely to go forContinue reading “Farewell to winter”
The spider monkeys
Howsie sent me the list of grade 20s still left to bag after our trip to Wilyabrup last weekend, and seeing we had a week of dry’ish weather ahead of us I suggested a short jaunt up to Welly Dam might be in order. With five lines still on the list from this location itContinue reading “The spider monkeys”
Tourist attraction
On a lazy Sunday morning at 7:15, while most would be tucked up in bed, Howsie and Rongy had both followed me up Hope. The forecast during the week had indicated that Sunday would be the better day to head out. As it was Saturday was glorious and Lisa and I went for a longContinue reading “Tourist attraction”
Stiff as a board
It was that time of the year again when Craig can claim to be yet another year older. And for some strange folks like us there is no greater gift we can give or hope to receive than a day out on rock. It keeps things easy and there is none of this need orContinue reading “Stiff as a board”
A well deserved treat
Normally on my early drives to Capel, to meet up with whoever is mad enough to endure an early start, I need to look out for roos. Today I didn’t see any, but I did come across a couple of escaped cows. Being a lot easier to spot and also much slower there was noContinue reading “A well deserved treat”
Peer pressure
Having recently finished his business course Steve was keen to get out, and when he posted about it Alan and I jumped at the chance to assist Steve in achieve that goal. Then during our weekly plastic pulling session on my boulder wall I thought I had managed to convince Geoff to also venture outContinue reading “Peer pressure”
Learning new skills
It was time to head back to an old favourite, and Rongy was keen to join in the fun when Alan and I started to lay the plans for a morning foray at Moses Rocks. The times got mucked about with, and there was a bit of banter as the plans were rearranged via WhatsApp. Continue reading “Learning new skills”
ELO
I rolled into Howsie’s driveway at the agreed time, and he came out through the gate staring at me and the wet windscreen with an expectant look. It had been dry for most of the morning, until an hour before I was due to head out. Driving into Bunbury to pick him up it hadContinue reading “ELO”
