Steve’s sister Jules and her husband Michael have come over from ole Blighty to look after him for a bit on his road to recovery.  So seeing Jules has dabbled in bit of climbing herself Howsie and took the them out to Moses Rocks yesterday.  As suspected Steve tried to smuggle in an extra ropeContinue reading “Camera shy”

After bagging a few too many lines at Welly Dam last weekend my shoulder gave me the tell-tale signs that I had been pushing things a bit too far with recent trips out.  So I put the call out for anyone interested in a more relaxed session this weekend.  Mario was keen and we headedContinue reading “Two out of two”

I canned a Saturday trip to Wilyabrup on what promised to be a perfect spring day just minutes after organising it, due to my daughter asking if we could head to Perth to go to the aquarium.  A place where we used to go on a regular basis when she was younger and haven’t beenContinue reading “Happy birthday Frank!”

Today was the first trip out that felt like a big group, there seems to be a growing keenness to get onto rock by the local south west group.  It was supposed to be a cold start after a clear sky night, followed by blue skies and light winds.  So Rongy and I were aContinue reading “A Packed Crag”

You may recall that last weekend I was not at my best, but that said Rongy and I still had a great session at the Northern Blocks with me following up every route.  This week I’ve been a bit up and down, Lisa suggested I may be experiencing a dose of manapause or possibly worseContinue reading “Getting over it”

Rongy and I headed out on Sunday for a bit of fun at Wilyabrup.  We decided to get there early, so as we were driving west on Metricup Road five minutes from our destination I could see, in the rear view mirror, the sun starting to inch it’s way above the horizon.  The sky seemedContinue reading “Off the beaten track”

Saturday 24th August was Global Climbing Day so it was only right to get out for a climb.  However, despite the best endeavours from quite a few of the local crew the numerous plans that were hatched eventually ended with only one option.  I had hoped to manage two trips out, one in the morningContinue reading “BB”

This morning I groggily woke up at 3am and my head and body felt weird.  I wondered if it was due to what felt like a long week at work, the impending damp weather coming or maybe the single stubby of beer I had succumbed to the night before?  I wasn’t sure if I’d getContinue reading “Well stoned”

After more rain resulting in another weekend in the shed last week I was busting to get onto some real rock.  I tracked for forecast which indicating heading north was the better option.  That worked well as Wiggins was home and keen to get back to Boomer Crag, up near Pinjarra, and this time hitContinue reading “Evening things up”

The forecast was looking good with a few clear calm days leading into and continuing for the weekend.  So not to miss out on an opportunity after being holed up in the shed for the last few weeks I put the word out.  The original plan was for some south coast adventures with Kym inContinue reading “Socially inept”
