With the thought of a hot day an early start was on the cards for this morning. I had in mind where I wanted to go, but it did depended on who was keen to get out. As it was no one was available so for the first time in a long time I wentContinue reading “Mad fools”

A reason to come back
Yesterday Rongy and I plumped for the Northern Blocks at Willyabrup. The option of routes here are less with more being that bit steeper and harder than at the main cliffs of Willyabrup so they don’t see as much traffic, by others or us. We’d decided on dropping into The Terrace, which mean abseiling inContinue reading “A reason to come back”
Pleasure and pain
This morning while Lisa took the dogs for a walk a message came back to indicate the water was most definitely snorkelable. I was however feeling a little weary from a great climbing session the day before and my body was undecided. When she got back she told me that she had even seen aContinue reading “Pleasure and pain”
Patrick and Watkin
I finally, after just over twelve months of trying, managed to get down to Albany to visit Kym, Meg, Tessa and Claire. While it was wonderful to see them all the bulk of the time was of course spent heading out with Kym to sample some of the magnificent South Coast rock, which is mostlyContinue reading “Patrick and Watkin”
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”
