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”
The salmon are running!
Steve had organised to go for a fish with Alan this morning, but Will was not too keen when she heard about the dawn start. Steve explained to me it was the best time to catch those elusive fish, and sure enough a good number of people were already there when we arrived. Justin andContinue reading “The salmon are running!”
A mixed bag
The intention was not to climb this weekend but Lou wanted to put some gear in to test her headspace. It’s been a long time since her fall and while she has got out once in a while, it has not been regular enough to truly get her back on the horse. So late yesterdayContinue reading “A mixed bag”
Fickle weather…
The sun was shining again last weekend so I did risk another snorkel and while it’s wasn’t all that clear just putting my head under water and checking out what I might find was refreshing. I came across a few more gems that are worth sharing, such as this image of the creature that livesContinue reading “Fickle weather…”
Hook, line and sinker!
This morning Justin and I wandered down to the Bookshelf where the plan was for him to have a crack at trad. It was a crisp clear morning and the moon was still bright in sky as we walked along the rocky shoreline: Being his first use of trad I set him to work onContinue reading “Hook, line and sinker!”
