There seems to be little or no previously publicly available info on this area and so they have named the routes. If anyone has prior claim to …
CAWA Film Night By Phillip Calais Last Saturday night (15 January) was a beautiful evening for the CAWA film night in Ash and Megan’s backyard. It started with Dena and Megan, barefoot, in the kitchen, and one of them pregnant, preparing food for the soon to arrive hoards of hungry climbers. I turned up at …

The new CAWA T-shirts and tops were available, although there seems …
A number of people have already purchased the new CAWA T-shirt or singlet. However there appears to be a problems with the placement of the logo on some of the tops, particularly the female red singlets – the logo is very far to the left and very low and looks – kinda weird. If you …

This year the end of year 2010/11 CAWA trip will again be to Albany. The dates are Monday 27 December until 03 January 2011. We will be staying a private property about 20 km east of Albany. Unlike last year’s camp, it will be a reasonable distance away from mad mooing cows, roosters crowing at …
