Stan,
Welcome to Perth.
There are usually quite a few CAWA (Climbers Assoc WA) members at the Rockface on Thursday nights. Usually it is decided sometime during the evening where people might be climbing outdoors over the weekend. We also organise climbing trips regularly, the next one is to Margaret River I think around early December and then just after Xmas there is another down to West Cape Howe to climb on the sea cliffs.
So if you are stuck for a climbing partner ask at the Rockface counter to be pointed in the direction of some of the CAWA members. If you are looking for a guide book to the Perth region, CAWA has a comprehensive guide which you can buy directly from CAWA (see homepage) or get from the gyms or outdoor shops.
cheers
Dinah
