Reminder to all CAWA members!
We know everyone is busy and that it’s easy to forget about upcoming events, so this is just a reminder that the AGM is coming up very soon, on Wednesday, 21 June 2017.
If you are not coming to the AGM you must get your proxy form (2017AGMProxyForm.doc) in! No excuses. If you are not sure about who to give your proxy to contact us at cawa@climberswa.asn.au.
All current members other than the most recently joined will have received their AGM invitation and proxy form by post.
New members will receive these by e-mail once it is too close for snail mail.
We are very pleased to have Malcolm Matheson as our keynote speaker. Malcolm aka “HB” is one of the legends of Australian climbing, not only with an impressive tick list and first ascents but also the style in which a lot of these were completed in. Malcolm’s FA of Serpentine (31), the hardest route by an Australian at the time (1988), was done in his typical ground up style. It is rarely repeated without pre-inspection and pre-placed gear at the crux. His FA in 1993 of Welcome To Barbados (29), a 50m trad roof in the Grampians which has the climber upside down for most of the route, was done ground up on his second attempt. Malcolm is also noted to have made his own gear, such as the micro cams in the 1980’s when manufacturers said smaller sizes were not possible. Malcolm is the epitome of strength, style and ethics in Australian climbing and his presentation is not to be missed.
