The early bird

This weekend I won’t be getting out on rock, so I thought I would share with you our before work Welly Dam training session. On Friday Howsie, Rongy and myself met in Bunbury at 4:30am and jumped into one car to head up the hill. As we drove the short 30min’ish trip out of townContinue reading “The early bird”

Copper Rocks

Now once a week it is quite normal for me to set the alarm and be out of the house heading to Welly Dam for the almost weekly training session. However, that happened on Wednesday this week when Rongy, Alana and I went there and today was Saturday. So after a night of noisy neighboursContinue reading “Copper Rocks”

Cosy Corner

This weekend Howsie and I had planned to head down to the Stirling Ranges to bag some big multi-pitch routes on the mighty Alpine style Bluff Knoll. However, this spring has been a tad fickle weatherwise and we kept an eye on what was to unfold. Eventually deciding that with the likelihood of a highContinue reading “Cosy Corner”

The old boys

I wasn’t going to go out this weekend but I simply couldn’t resists the urge to say yes to Wiggins when he texted to say there was a Saturday morning met at Wilyabrup. In truth our house is probably a more relaxed place for the girls without me there, as my need to ‘get thingsContinue reading “The old boys”

Rumpoles Rocks

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”
