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”
An afternoon on the beach
While summer is on its way the thermometer still hasn’t gone much above 25 but the still calm days are here, so it we went for a play on the beach this afternoon: We picked up Chloe from next door and their dog Cruiso, and off we went: In case you were wondering what ElseyaContinue reading “An afternoon on the beach”

Mount Frankland
The last few weeks have been pretty wet but there seemed to be a break in the weather so Steve, Leanne, Chris and myself decided to head out for an overnight climbing trip to a place called Mount Frankland. The is a huge granite monolith with great long slabs which start in the Karri forestContinue reading “Mount Frankland”
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”
A windy day
When you have made plans to go out for a climb and then the weather forecast changes and there is suddenly a severe weather warning of gale force winds, high tides and damaging swells what you do? Steve and I, being used to being out in inclement weather from years of conditioning in England wereContinue reading “A windy day”
