Have you posted on the climberswa.asn.au forum? You'll probably find someone there.

Oh I wouldn't say that. The Perth crags have their own appeal, and there are quite a few natural crags as well as the quarries. If you like slab then Mt Cuthbert and Wungong are quite lovely for a Winter Sunday outing. Churchmans Brook has some great climbs, however the hardest problem there at the moment is finding your car windows intact at the end of the day.

The quarries are their own thing. Half of Mountain Q is currently falling down, Boya is very loose in the West bay, but the East bay has some alright bolted lines and Stathams has some nice climbs (Real Life Ambition (21), Morning Glory (17) and a few others that are too hard for me).

But seeing as you would be there in December, grab some shoes you don't mind getting wet and play at Blackwall Reach for a few hours. Closest thing you'll find to deep water soloing.
