She’s done trips to the Margaret River and Albany region, and is eager to explore the northern regions around Kalbarri as well. She has been thrilled to find stunning climbing locations right near the ocean which is her all time favorite place and element to be around and has loved being introduced to the local climbing community here who has been nothing short of warm and welcoming towards her.

Charles Gore
I’m Charles, for me the outdoors is the ultimate escape, stripping life back to its simplest form. I like to think of hiking as my moving meditation. In the stillness and quiet of the wilderness is where I think clearer and feel most at ease. There’s something incredibly rewarding about exploring untouched landscapes, it can be a short walk or pushing myself beyond my physical and mental comfort zone. Living in Sydney my favourite area to explore is the Blue Mountains with its epic views and countless swimming holes. When I’m not adventuring, I’ll be going for a dip in the ocean or reading a good fantasy book.
