This morning we had intended to go to Moses Rocks. During the drive, as Andrew and I were chatting it was however obvious that a rethink might be a good idea. It was not so much that we needed a place with more relaxed grades, but maybe a place that had routes that felt moreContinue reading “Yet another project”

Pushing things, just a little bit…
So it began again early Sunday morning. The first rap into Wilyabrup was as the morning light was taking effect, this image was later in the morning allowing a crisper image. We thought the morning may have felt crisp after it had rained all day long on the Saturday, but it soon warmed up. BetterContinue reading “Pushing things, just a little bit…”
The Electric Light Orchestra
The dawn of a long weekend was upon us and early Saturday morning I was at Smiths Beach, as the light was changing. My aim was to grab a quick climb in before we had to head to Perth for Elseya’s dance competitions. It was a bit of a surprise to see so many surfersContinue reading “The Electric Light Orchestra”
The almost rock star
Back in time when we lived in Central Australia we used to work at Ooromina Homestead. On one occasion a local film company was showing an American crew around. They were scouting for rugged outback cliffs on which to shoot a car advert. I can no longer remember which make of car it was, butContinue reading “The almost rock star”
Breaking new ground
Whilst I have been quiet on the email front for few weeks that is not to say that I have not been getting out. It’s been a strange summer climbing season so far, you’d expect everyone would be busting to get out but it has not been the case. For our local crew there haveContinue reading “Breaking new ground”
Not one to be left out…
With a New Year’s resolution of quitting the smokes and beer Glen was keen to try out and see just how awful or not it would be getting up for an early climb. Word had it that the usual crags were likely to be busy, due to an organised trip by the Perth climbers soContinue reading “Not one to be left out…”
Mad fools
With the thought of a hot day an early start was on the cards for this morning. I had in mind where I wanted to go, but it did depended on who was keen to get out. As it was no one was available so for the first time in a long time I wentContinue reading “Mad fools”
A reason to come back
Yesterday Rongy and I plumped for the Northern Blocks at Willyabrup. The option of routes here are less with more being that bit steeper and harder than at the main cliffs of Willyabrup so they don’t see as much traffic, by others or us. We’d decided on dropping into The Terrace, which mean abseiling inContinue reading “A reason to come back”
Pleasure and pain
This morning while Lisa took the dogs for a walk a message came back to indicate the water was most definitely snorkelable. I was however feeling a little weary from a great climbing session the day before and my body was undecided. When she got back she told me that she had even seen aContinue reading “Pleasure and pain”
Patrick and Watkin
I finally, after just over twelve months of trying, managed to get down to Albany to visit Kym, Meg, Tessa and Claire. While it was wonderful to see them all the bulk of the time was of course spent heading out with Kym to sample some of the magnificent South Coast rock, which is mostlyContinue reading “Patrick and Watkin”
