The idea of climbing during the last few week have been canned due to uncertainty of whether we would get blown off the cliffs or drenched while trying to scale them. However, this week the weather forecast had remained relatively settled, something we have not had for a what seems a very long time. SoContinue reading “Someone is getting forgetful…”

Not quite to plan
Howsie and I drove off for an adventure a few days back that took us some 600km east to the remote crag of Peak Charles. Despite this place being a bit of a mission to get too it happened to be my third visit, the first being in October 2007 with Craig and then againContinue reading “Not quite to plan”
Grotesque
Six in the morning seemed a reasonable time to meet in the Capel pub carpark, and Andrew was amenable to that idea. What I kinda guessed but didn’t think, or more likely hoped, would not happen was that the mercury was low. On the drive down it dipped to a mere finger numbing 1 degreeContinue reading “Grotesque”
Going soft?
This weekend the weather was not working in our favour. Wiggins and I had set our sights on Driftwood Bay at Willyabrup, but being on the west coast we decided to abort those plans when the forecast predicted 40km/hr westerlies combined with a rough sea. Instead we headed for the more sheltered Castle Rock, onContinue reading “Going soft?”
Spring into action
The Frenchman got back in town a few days back after having had a bit of a sware across a few continents. On his return he was greeted by what some may hope to be the last of the coldness of winter. The cold didn’t put us off and with today being the first dayContinue reading “Spring into action”
The new kid on the block
This morning we managed a quick trip out to a place that, rather surprisingly, Wiggins had not been to before. There are a number of crags in-between the mighty Wilyabrup and Northern Crags that rarely get visited, and it would seem that some local climbers are also guilty of having ignored them. So with anotherContinue reading “The new kid on the block”
The birthday present
It is customary for both Craig and I to provide each other with a birthday present of a day out on rock. Craig can’t claim old man status just yet but is now only one year away. So on this trip in preparation for that lofty age we had already decided to head somewhere toContinue reading “The birthday present”
Back in the homelands
During our trip back to the homelands Lisa’s long-time friend had mentioned that her partner was a climber and would be interested in getting out for a climb when we stayed in Torquay, Lisa’s old stomping ground. Now while the trip as supposed to give me some recuperation time to try and settle my nigglingContinue reading “Back in the homelands”
A roaring success
Steve may be upset with me by sending this email so promptly, as he captured some images that show just how far I am prepared to go to get that perfect picture. Maybe I can send a few of those round another time… We’ve been back in the country for a few days now afterContinue reading “A roaring success”
New stuff
After this weekend I’ll not be out on rock until August, and it felt like way too long a time without one final trip out. After our recent very enjoyable afternoon jaunt to Moses, a few weeks back, I suggested to Craig that a similarly timed trip would probably be good. So with nothing tooContinue reading “New stuff”
