Lou had finished all her Uni assignments for the semester so was keen to celebrate with some trad climbing. Having had not such a great experience at another good easy access trad spot, Smith Beach, she plumped for Moses Rocks. This place has the second largest collection of climbs in the area, with the mostContinue reading “Rumpoles Rocks”

Heading inland
A 4:30 departure and Craig and I were on the road north to an inland crag near Pinjarra, just for something different. As the sun poked over the horizon at 5:30’ish it had a red hue due to the controlled burns that are being carried out as spring sets in: An hour later we wereContinue reading “Heading inland”
Blue Mountains – the end bit
Much as it was a very relaxing day off, we were keen to get back into it. Unfortunately the wet weather had not fully blown over and today was forecast for high winds and showers. A great thing about the Blue Mountains is that with so many crags if you check out the wind direction,Continue reading “Blue Mountains – the end bit”
Blue Mountains – the middle bit
Ah Pierces Pass now this is a place we were sooooo looking forward to. We had been told that the access might be misleading by more than one person and reading the book the climb we had our eye on to test ourselves on would normally take a 6 to 7 hrs car to car.Continue reading “Blue Mountains – the middle bit”
Blue Mountains – the start bit
Rongy and I took a red eye flight on Thursday 22 September to head to the Blue Mountains. With an eleven day trip ahead of us we crammed in a lot of climbs so this email only covers the start bit and there will be two more to follow, so if you get bored ofContinue reading “Blue Mountains – the start bit”
Spring is in the air
This weekend seems to be the first in a long time that the forecast for both days was for clear sunny days. So Glenn, Lou and I decided on a trip to Willyabrup. As we walked in there were more flowers out than our previous trip and these beautiful red blossoms were springing up allContinue reading “Spring is in the air”
Breaking in
Rongy has been telling me to start breaking in my new shoes before we head off for a climbing trip over east. So today a few of us headed out and we were all busting to put some trad in, as this winter has seen most climbing occur on the sports crags away from theContinue reading “Breaking in”
Happy Birthday Craig
Look whose birthday it was today (sorry Craig I just had to use that photo!), and seeing the sun had come out from behind the clouds for a day we also just so happen to have gone up to Welly Dam: The initial reason for the trip was to meet up with Ali and Ben,Continue reading “Happy Birthday Craig”
Time for something different
It’s been well over a year and possibly two since I have climbed at Wallcliffe, and there are several reasons. First technically it is illegal to climb here, but that said the local bye law that stands had been previously contested in parliament and thrown out so the current law may be on equally shakyContinue reading “Time for something different”
Rain, rain, go away…
Saturday was a lovely, cold and crisp day with blue skies, so of course it made complete sense to head out on Sunday morning. Being a mid-morning start gave the clouds and rain that had been forecast and threatening a chance to get hold. As I was driving out to Castle Rock to meet Lou,Continue reading “Rain, rain, go away…”
