      Hello

      I’m visiting relatives in perth in March/April (from England) and I was hoping to climb a bit while im out there. Transport etc should not be a problem, but obviously i dont know the area, so can anyone help by recommending a guidebook for the area, and also some local crags suitable for climbing up to grade between 13-18? It looks like there will be quite a lot of choice…any help would be great. Thanks in advance, James
