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”

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”

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”

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”

There has been another blip in the wet weather for a few days, which let the sun come out to play. So Chris and I took advantage and drove up towards to Perth to visit a crag neither of us had been to before. Boomer Crag doesn’t have heaps of routes on it but itContinue reading “Another Day Out”

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”

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”

Below are a few pictures from yet another fabulous morning out at our most prominent climbing venue in the SW corner of Western Australia, Wilyabrup: Last week it was blue skies and very warm at the crag and this week when we arrived at 7am it was damp but didn’t seem too cold: After aContinue reading “A misty moisty morning”

On Sunday morning three of us headed out for a climb, and seeing there were three of us we managed to take a few half decent shots that I thought you may like to see: Chris got us started with a great warm up on the very fun Banana Split (14 – HS 4a),with KymContinue reading “Just because”

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”
