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”
The Inventor
I’ve occasional seen cars parked on top of the hill just above Moses Rocks and thought it’s be great to drive in one day and save the walk in. So on Saturday we tried to get in that way but it wasn’t quite as straight forward as Google Maps indicated. We had to traverse aContinue reading “The Inventor”
A pot of gold
Howsie, Craig and I spent way too long pondering what to do… our hearts had been set on the long slabs of the Porongurup’s. For three weeks it had been looking great as the 28 day rain forecast had been indicating our chosen weekend was going to be perfect. Then once the 7 day forecastContinue reading “A pot of gold”
Just one more time
Yesterday I found myself back at Castle Rock, and while I was there to climb I also took a quick dip. There were more people fishing this time so I was a bit limited in where I could snorkel plus the water was not as beautifully clear as the previous week, but… I came acrossContinue reading “Just one more time”
