After a great Saturday morning climbing, the mercury was creeping up to 30 as I got home. The trees swayed and the wind was up, so I guessed that a snorkel to cool down would be out of the question. However, I was wrong. There was not a stir on the flat waters off theContinue reading “Snorkelable”

The Mechanic
Last weekend I bailed on a trip out, mostly due to having work done at our house but also due to not feeling that great. It had been a busy few weeks and life stuff had simply got in the way of climbing, which for me is pretty unusual. Lisa and I tend to cramContinue reading “The Mechanic”
A garden salad
Not put off by my last venture off Peppy I went back in yesterday. While the ocean looked deceptively calm, there was still a underlying swell, resulting in the water being swished back and forth. All that turbulence brings with it a stirring of the pot and as such any loose weed, and of courseContinue reading “A garden salad”
Belated happy birthday Steve!
Saturday morning just gone I woke up before the alarm, mind you it was only set for 4:45 and I’m usually stirring by then. It could have been earlier but for the first time that Rongy could remember I chose a later start. My excuse being that it had been a big couple of weeksContinue reading “Belated happy birthday Steve!”
The eye of a storm
On Saturday, after a hot morning climbing at Welly Dam with wonderful tree top views across a valley it was time to cool off. So we decided to head to the beach. It had been a mid-thirty to forty degree week and the sea had been flat as a pancake, so I was hoping toContinue reading “The eye of a storm”
Depeche Mode
The bushfire warnings were all out with a hot weekend in the south west of Western Australia forecast. With our coastal climbing spots threatening to get up to the mid-thirties it was time to be sensible and have a proper early start to get out and back before the heat really hit. With that inContinue reading “Depeche Mode”

So seeing Jules has dabbled in bit of climbing herself Howsie and took the them out to Moses Rocks yesterday. As suspected Steve tried to smuggle in an extra ropeContinue reading “Camera shy”
Two out of two
After bagging a few too many lines at Welly Dam last weekend my shoulder gave me the tell-tale signs that I had been pushing things a bit too far with recent trips out. So I put the call out for anyone interested in a more relaxed session this weekend. Mario was keen and we headedContinue reading “Two out of two”
Happy birthday Frank!
I canned a Saturday trip to Wilyabrup on what promised to be a perfect spring day just minutes after organising it, due to my daughter asking if we could head to Perth to go to the aquarium. A place where we used to go on a regular basis when she was younger and haven’t beenContinue reading “Happy birthday Frank!”
A Packed Crag
Today was the first trip out that felt like a big group, there seems to be a growing keenness to get onto rock by the local south west group. It was supposed to be a cold start after a clear sky night, followed by blue skies and light winds. So Rongy and I were aContinue reading “A Packed Crag”
