From outset it was agreed that both Craig and Howsie would need to be home by midday to ensure they were balancing their time and got some quality family time in, as well as quality rock time. This meant we had to be walking out by 10:30, which in turn warranted an early start. HowsieContinue reading “Speed Climbing”

Climate Change
I’m coming to the end of my two weeks holiday and with the return to work my posts will slow down, but before they do one last tale of a dip in the ocean. On Saturday morning it wasn’t that great and it felt like everything was in hiding, and as the day wore onContinue reading “Climate Change”
Staying in Control
Steve has been away for about a month visiting family and friends in the UK, and has a couple of weeks before the last rounds of chemo kicks in. So rather than catch up in town we decided on a trip to Welly Dam. It was a lazy start and we were in no rushContinue reading “Staying in Control”
A Lucky Find!
On New Year’s Day Lisa and I went down to river mouth end of our beach, which meant we jumped in the car and drove the 3km to the most eastern carpark. The reason for this was purely because I wanted to have a snorkel at this end, my first dip in these waters whereContinue reading “A Lucky Find!”
Not an Action Replay
Chatting to Rongy as we drove back from Moses Rocks just two days back he mentioned that he had yet to get to Cosy Corner, and seeing that both of us were on holiday we teed up a session for New Year’s Eve. Neither of us are afraid of early starts and so despite itContinue reading “Not an Action Replay”

Timeless issues
During a clear out Dave James had a mob of old guidebooks on offer and I was lucky enough to get some 1970 guidebooks for a range of places I have climbed in the UK, including the Peak District, Lakes District and North Wales. The thing about those older guidebooks, and dare I say theContinue reading “Timeless issues”
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. For those who will neverContinue reading “History of climbing in 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 forget now which edition the article was included but it would have been in late 2012, I also do notContinue reading “Climbing in Western Australia’s South West”
History of climbing in Central Australia
Important update as of May 2022 for anyone intending to climb in Central Australia: Access is an ongoing issue at many of the climbs around Alice Springs. Some consultations have occurred in the past for climbs but there is a lack of clarity around the status of many places. Rock climbers of Central Australia (RoCA)Continue reading “History of climbing in Central Australia”
