Socially inept

The forecast was looking good with a few clear calm days leading into and continuing for the weekend. So not to miss out on an opportunity after being holed up in the shed for the last few weeks I put the word out. The original plan was for some south coast adventures with Kym inContinue reading “Socially inept”

Recycling

After a bout of wild weather promising slightly damper conditions I put the word out there for this weekend, which didn’t look too bad. Wiggins was keen, and after I suggested I was open to a late start he promptly suggested a 7:30 meet in Capel. The timing was great as I got to seeContinue reading “Recycling”

Perfect timing

Having just been back to the UK for a quick one week visit to help sort through belongings, go on tip runs, pack boxes and dismantle furniture at my folks place, where they have lived for 40 years I still had a couple of days before I was due to go back to work. SoContinue reading “Perfect timing”

From dawn till dusk

Howsie and I made a hit list of crags to visit some two or was it three years back, the optimistic intention back then being to knock them off over the course of a year. Yesterday we had a big day out to tick one more of the list and at the rate we areContinue reading “From dawn till dusk”

Crowded House

My last email to most of you was a month back, since then I managed another solo top-rope mission and had a few weeks off. Then came Easter and the intention was to get out for a morning or two at the local crags, but that fell through so there was a last minute decisionContinue reading “Crowded House”

Couch potato

Saturday morning I was up at 5:30, not for climbing well not entirely. Elseya had a course in Perth that was due to start at 9am, so we were on the road early to make sure we got there on time. After dropping her off I headed out to the Adrenaline Vault to while awayContinue reading “Couch potato”

Yet another project

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”
