Stomping Ground

With the promise of a cool dry day just one month into Summer what better place to visit than Smiths Beach. With the sun hitting the walls of the zawn early in the morning it is not a place to go to on a hot day, that plus the fact that it has been aContinue reading “Stomping Ground”

The Dark Side

My optimistic outlook on the start of a good snorkelling season has been a tad dashed. Since my first dip I’ve been out three more times. The water is a good temperature but there seems to be a distinct lack of life out there. A few wrasse, goat fish and sweeps pop their heads outContinue reading “The Dark Side”

Full house

T’was the morning before the night before the night before Christmas and while many of you were tucked up in bed a few of us were up at the crack of dawn. The almost full moon was out and lit up the driveway as I walked to the car. By the time I was justContinue reading “Full house”

Turning blue

Today is the first day of a week and half festive break from work and the timing was good. The temperatures have been steadily increasing towards the weekend and usually that means the sea calms down. So this morning I was walking down to the beach at a very reasonable time of 8am’ish. There wasContinue reading “Turning blue”

Running low on fuel

Just over a year ago Kym and his family moved to Albany and I’ve said several times that I’ll pop down to visit, with the intention to get out for a climb (of course). Each time our plans have been thwarted, whether due to work, injuries and this time the weather. I was supposed toContinue reading “Running low on fuel”

The Guns of Navarone

Dean has been absent from climbing for some time, two years in fact, so it was not certain how much or what we might do on our Sunday trip to Willies. One thing was for certain there would be no cams used, I’d brought the usual passive gear with the hope of making use ofContinue reading “The Guns of Navarone”

Hold still for the camera…

I wasn’t intending to head out yesterday morning, as we are coming up to silly season on more than one front at home so weekends become hectic and some things usually have to slide. So when Wiggins put the call out for people interested to play I initially said ‘no can do’. However, I’m veryContinue reading “Hold still for the camera…”

Someone is getting forgetful…

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”
