With the way the world is going I felt that the great trip down to Mount Frankland last week may have been the last climbing trip for some time to come. I did touch base with Howsie before this weekend to check if he was still keen, it was a silly question really. But despiteContinue reading “Risky business”

Eagle eyes
It had been predicted to be a breezy weekend with the wind direction not being ideal for going for a dip. However as I drove Steve home from the hospital after his last operation, which I might add he only just had done in time before they start to can elective surgery, I was watchingContinue reading “Eagle eyes”
There and back again a climber’s tale
For a few months now Howsie and I had a plan to head to Mount Frankland, and the timing coincided nicely with a south coast trip that Rongy and Wiggins had concocted. Howsie’s got a plan to hit grade 20s and Hannibal was in his sights. However, in the week before the trip Howsie wasContinue reading “There and back again a climber’s tale”
The Blob
Last weekend I squeezed in a quick snorkel before everyone rocked up to our place for the first viewing of Wiggins latest video. I had two reasons for this, well maybe three. The conditions were lovely and I knew that the rest of the day would be chewed up so it was my only chance;Continue reading “The Blob”
A Reason for Cake
With the changing season we come to expect glorious weather during the week, while many of us are couped up at work, with weekends threatening rain to dampen any idea of outdoor fun. This weekend was looking, what the 28 day rain forecast predicts, to be the start of this new normal. During the weekContinue reading “A Reason for Cake”
Esperance Revisited
Back in September 2019 Howsie, Wiggins and myself made the big trip down to Cape Le Grande past Esperance on the south coast of Western Australia. It was a magical trip with glorious weather, incredible scenery, scrumptious food, delicious homemade beer and of course stunning climbing. On that trip we saw a number of veryContinue reading “Esperance Revisited”
It’s all in the tail
It is going to be a busy social weekend for us with the weekend packed with a year twelve ball, meals out and a bit of a shin dig for the premier of the latest Wiggins film, of which you will hear more about after the red carpet event has occurred. But before the mayhemContinue reading “It’s all in the tail”
Into the deep
After a great mornings climbing at Smiths Beach Rongy and I had always intended, if the conditions were good, to head out for a snorkel. The intention being to check out some new territory. Just along the coast from where we had been climbing is a place called the aquarium, a local secret before socialContinue reading “Into the deep”
Poor casting
Rongy has been dropping hints about getting back to Smiths Beach for a long time now, the last time I had been here with him is close to three year now. So today we finally got there, and it had been a long time since I have climbed here. A top rope solo mission inContinue reading “Poor casting”
Nice to see you again (maybe)
As I drove home from Welly Dam, after a morning out climbing with Steve, the wind was strong and the trees were bending this way and that. However, it looked like it may have been a southerly wind, i.e. offshore, so I checked the beach before going home and it was looking good. When IContinue reading “Nice to see you again (maybe)”
