The alarm went off at 2:40 giving me 20min to pack the esky, make a tea and head out the door. Half an hour later I found Howsie walking the streets of Bunbury in darkness with a cuppa in his hand. We’d been organised and I’d picked up all his gear the day before, whichContinue reading “Meatloaf”

Animal Magic
With school holiday upon us, Elseya had a sleep over and so on Good Friday Lisa and I headed out back to the coast for a climb. We had arranged to meet a few people there and Rongy was the first there, and we found him under the shady bush looking out to see throughContinue reading “Animal Magic”
Rock armchair (grade 20)
After such a fun day out at Castle Rock the relatively newbie and returning cripple crew of the SW decided it was time for another trip out. So we headed down to Moses Rocks, and Lisa and I were the second crew to arrive finding Wiggins at the top of the excellent Gothic Streak withContinue reading “Rock armchair (grade 20)”
Rock fishing
After my failed attempt to get Lisa and Elseya to join us at the Book Shelf a few weeks back it was attempt number two. We had planned on a cruisey time down at the Playground for some bouldering and easy trad lines, but a howling westerly promising 60km/hr on-shore winds combined with a mid-morningContinue reading “Rock fishing”
She’s back…
Finally Sunday 12th March had arrived, and it was time to head to the Book Shelf for some fun on rock. A week and two days prior Lou was finally given the all clear to take her back and neck brace off, but more importantly was allowed to do some non-impact sport. This also happenedContinue reading “She’s back…”
Rockin’ into 2017
After just over 3 weeks overseas in both England and France, during which I never touched rock, we got back to good old WA. I had a week and a bit up my sleeve before I was back to work, which happens to be tomorrow. So with a bit of spare time to get overContinue reading “Rockin’ into 2017”
Getting back on the horse…
A couple of weeks back Geoff and Nana witness a ground fall by Lou, who had taken them out to show them the ropes of trad leading. It was a nerve wracking experience for all three of them, with Lou being helicoptered out and luckily only having hairline fracture damage in some of her upperContinue reading “Getting back on the horse…”
Smiths Beach Rocks
We are lucky to have a mob of varied crags in the SW of Western Australia but there is only one crag that is fully trad with not one bolt in sight. Smiths Beach is a place I stumbled on in late 2010, at about the same time as Kym did, and promptly sieged theContinue reading “Smiths Beach Rocks”
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”
