Driftwood Bay
Alan and I headed out for an afternoon climb yesterday and plumped for Driftwood Bay at Willyabrup, as it had a number of lower grade 20m climbs so Alan could have a bash at leading: In comparison to the main walls and northern buttresses of Willyabrup this crag certainly looks scrappy and was a bitContinue reading “Driftwood Bay”
Eagle Stone Rocks
We have just had a long weekend here in Western Australia and it was likely all the places were packed with campers, so Chris and I decided to head off on the public holiday, Monday for a few days, and head out after the manic period: After carefully watching the forecast we plumped for aContinue reading “Eagle Stone Rocks”

Our local beach
In the last few weeks I have been getting out for a snorkel, and over the last couple of days have been down at our local beach. My memory of the place was that there wasn’t that much to find but in two days and three snorkels I have changed my mind big time. TheContinue reading “Our local beach”

Four of us were lucky enough to have a week long climbing trip down to the south coast of the South West of Western Australia.

Wellington Dam Quarry
I woke with a start at 3:20am when the alarm went off – after making a tea for my sippy mug I was in the car and on my way to Ryan’s house; 4:00am and Ryan, Paul and I were on the road to Wellington Dam and as the first light crept in we rolledContinue reading “Wellington Dam Quarry”
