CAWA

What We Do

CAWA is the representative body of climbers in Western Australia. Here are some of the things we do:

• Provide a central body that represents climbers when dealing with land managers, sporting bodies and government departments. This is highly relevant to crag access.
• Provide the http://www.climberswa.asn.au web site. This is an important forum to meet other climbers, exchange information, post new routes, find out about the news etc.
• Formulate codes of conduct that encourage sensible behaviour by outdoor climbers so as to avoid conflict with land managers, other user groups and other climbers.
• Organise weekend club trips to places all over the state, typically six times a year. We assist members to organise transport and accommodation. Read about previous trips in our trip reports.
• Organise gym crashes once a month. Come along, climb, socialise and then rip into a juicy pizza!
• Secure discounts for members in climbing gyms. These include up to 40% off entry cost on specific days of the week.
• Arrange member discounts at the various gear shops.  So far, the negotiated member discounts are 10% off at Paddy Pallin, Mainpeak and Mountain Designs and 20% off at Macpac.  A valid membership card is required to get the discounts.
