History of climbing in the South West of Western Australia

I wrote A Guide to Rock Climbing in WA’s South West. This guide was published in January 2016 and has been out of print for some years. As such for areas not well represented on The Crag I have provided Mini-guides for crags of the south west of Western Australia.

Climbing in Western Australia’s South West

After having written a number of mini-guides for areas in the south west of Western Australia, I was encouraged to write an article describing climbing in the area for Australia’s climbing magazine Vertical Life.

I hear that they prefer calm warm waters and can lurk both at the surface and at depth, also they can at times be close to shore orContinue reading “Right on cue”

Taking the Backseat

It does however mean that I play Russian roulette driving out of the little place we live past the tuart forest. TheContinue reading “Taking the Backseat”

Pièce de résistance

So after a long stint of mid to high thirty degree days I found myself driving down to Albany on FridayContinue reading “Pièce de résistance”
