The warm sunny days perfect for climbing will soon be coming to an end for the next few months so it’s time to head to the coast for some sea cliff climbing. CAWA has a trip planned to Wilyabrup from Friday 10th – Sunday 12th April. Located 26km NW of Margaret River, it’s not too far for a weekend trip from Perth.
Wilyabrup is one of the biggest and best known crags in the region, stretching around 400m along a small terrace above the wave line overlooking the Indian Ocean. With rock pools and small beaches close by, it’s a beautiful place to climb.
The climbing style is quite varied with lots of face climbs, small roofs and even a few cracks. The climbs are mostly trad or mixed lines requiring a full rack of wires and camming devices. Top ropes can be easily set up in places. Bob’s Hollow is also not far away and a popular sport climbing crag. Check out the West Australian Rock guide book for more info.
There is also no shortage of wineries, breweries and cafes in the area.
We will be staying at a campground not far from Wilyabrup. To register for this trip, please email me at martynd@climberswa.asn.au and I’ll send you a registration form. Any questions please feel free to email. Once registrations are received, we will provide further information and do our best to assist with car pooling.
Please note that CAWA trips are a benefit for members. Non-members who are interested in coming can join online here .
CAWA is not able to provide training on trips, so all climbers must be independent participants who are completely responsible for themselves. Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent, guardian or other responsible person to accompany them.

Looking forward to seeing you there
