3:45 seemed a wee bit early to leave home, but I picked up Gav and Monica and we were off on the road to Wilyabrup. Passing Busselton at just after 4am and the police had pulled someone over, a timely reminder to stick to the limit. Then driving into Willyabrup on a gravel road toContinue reading “Mikey’s Challenge”

Nyamdagva first climb
Craig’s wife Oyukha is from Mongolia and while her dad, Nyamdagva, is over she wanted Craig to take him out for a climb. It was a chance for him to see what all the fuss was about and why Craig and I get so excited at the thought of playing on rock. So I pickedContinue reading “Nyamdagva first climb”
No longer scarred for life
Way back in March 2013 when we were still discovering the delights Lost Buttress had to offer, Kym did a couple of solo laps on what we called Scarred for Life (12). It looked so much fun that I followed up in the same style and promptly pulled off the hold that he has hisContinue reading “No longer scarred for life”
ABC (Awesome Brisbane Climbing)
Well after three months of my on-again off-again travel proposal for a conference in Brisbane it was definitely on, and only just in time with less than a week before my departure date. When the opportunity came up Lisa and I talked about me going over early to get a weekend of climbing in, soContinue reading “ABC (Awesome Brisbane Climbing)”
Day of the Tricams
Today I headed out with Steve and Leanne to Moses Rocks for a relaxed climb. It’s the place that I first climbed in WA and has a gritstone feel to it, which I like. The routes are plentiful but many are short, so we headed to Hands Up wall which provide some of the longerContinue reading “Day of the Tricams”
Bobs Hollow
Today we had a great sunny day forecast after some wet cold days so a few of us headed out to Bob’s Hollow for a bit of a climb. It’s a steep limestone cliff with some hard lines, but today we were not feeling that way inclined so headed for the very southern end toContinue reading “Bobs Hollow”
Beginners Wall
Today we decided to try a spot we hadn’t been to before so we left the taller cliffs of the main crags of Willyabrup and headed north: Not too far north and then a quick abseil into Beginners Wall, a short wall with lower grade climbs and a sea washed platform. This morning was highContinue reading “Beginners Wall”
Welly Dam Quarry the mini-guide
Yes I have been out again – well I am on holiday! In fact I have made a few quick couple of hour visits up to this place during the week both solo top roping and meeting up with others. Being only a short 45min away and being able to practically park at the baseContinue reading “Welly Dam Quarry the mini-guide”
A trip to Perth
Being on holiday has given me the time to explore a few more areas that I haven’t been to before so after living down in the sleepy SW for almost 10 years I finally headed up to Perth to see what the climbing was like up there. One of the reasons I haven’t bothered headingContinue reading “A trip to Perth”
Smiths Beach
There was a blue sky and we had a few days of dry weather so it seemed like a good idea to head out. With other things to get done Lou and I didn’t want to be out too long so we plumped for Smith’s Beach, due to its easy access and short walk-in. OnContinue reading “Smiths Beach”
