Run by climbers for climbers
CAWA is the representative body of climbers in Western Australia, formed in 1968, and incorporated in August 1979. The management of CAWA is conducted by a committee.
CAWA’s purpose is to
- promote and develop rock climbing, especially in WA;
- protect and promote the interests of rock climbers in WA;
- provide an institution for rock climbers to meet;
- formulate and publish guidelines; and
- encourage groups with similar objects to affiliate with the Association.
Access Subcommittee
The CAWA Access Subcommittee’s role is to identify, investigate and address access issues when they arise. If you have any access questions or issues or want to report an access issue, e-mail CAWA (cawa@climberswa.asn.au) or the CAWA Access Subcommittee (access@climberswa.asn.au)

Mt Frankland is located in the Mt Frankland National Park and is about 30km north of Walpole. It’s quite a drive from Perth, probably 5 hours give or take, but in my opinion, it’s well worth it.

Peak Charles is a massive granite dome in the Peak Charles National Park, approximately 800 – 900 km east of Perth, depending on which route you take. It is worth every hour of driving for the excellent rock and multi-pitch routes. Climbs range from grade 11 to 27 and on average 5 pitches long, so can suit all tastes. It is predominantly trad climbing, and the crag is home to the longest climb in WA 'A Walk In The Park' (13) 500m, 13 pitches. Are you up for the challenge???
