West Cape Howe
Made by Devar
West Cape Howe, West Cape Howe National Park, Western Australia. A sandy, dry, and rather desolate spot right on the south coast where the wind does not let up for an instant. It's really not that photogenic, but I walked all the way to the cliffs in the distance and back so damn if I'm not publishing a photo of it (which was taken on the walk out there). As usual, just a simple image does not convey the scope or scale of distance here. So, best viewed large.


The Mincer
Made by mrfuller
The sun sets, and Richard begins climbing to Kylie to rescue themselves from the slippery rocks at The Mincer. This one, too, finished well after sunset, and involved frantically building a new trad anchor at the top. Richard took a whipper and jammed a #6 nut, which he rescued the next morning before bacon and eggs.


A bunch of tourists
Made by Devar
They rocked up after I walked out there, and I couldn't understand a word they said, at which point they all started to lie down with their heads poking over the edge of a very very long drop. Click.


Arrowhead of the Angry Sea
Made by Devar
The dark cliffs of West Cape Howe. These are a lot taller than they look in the shot, quite definitely not cliffs you want to fall off of, for if you survived the fall, the ocean would finish you off.


Better Than Chocolate

I edge out for a closer look as Scott builds his anchor 50m below me at the base of this three-star 19. The first ascent came 30 years ago by an old friend of Scott's.


Scott's Anchor
Made by mrfuller
Scott and I get cozy on a tiny ledge 30m above the roaring sea. With his gear-anchor set (so I'm not swept away by a king-wave), Scott starts the pitch.

above Shelley Beach, West Cape Howe National Park. Sooo cool, I'm so trying it one day (doubt I'll ever bungy jump or skydive, but this is different!

View to Shelly Beach and the Southern Ocean from the Bibbulmun Track, West Cape Howe National Park, Western Australia. Absolutely Do it!


Plumb Jamb

Scott builds his anchor 50m below, and we rock another stellar three-star crack climb at sunset. We finished this one in the dark.

Bluebottle

Watch your step! Tentacles can be as long as 10 metres and the sting is very painful.


Scared of Heights
Made by mrfuller
Or so she claims, as she stands on a slippery cliff 80m above a thrashing coastline.


The View
Made by mrfuller
We quickly built anchors in between the bouts of rain. (I use the term we' loosely)


Waiting out the Rain
Made by mrfuller
The sky was dumping every 20 minutes, so we found other sources of entertainment.
