Tale

OF WOAH TRIBUTE Climbing safety is everyone’s responsibility and it’s something our editorial team are incredibly passionate about. Our regular Tale of Woah column is our continued commitment to creating a culture of safety within our community. By providing a place for established climbing professionals to deconstruct teachable moments from accidents and near-miss moments, our hope is that our readers will lift the lessons off our pages and put them into practice at the crag. With Dyurrite and Gariwerd popular Easter and autumn climbing destinations amongst climbers, Louise Shepherd’s careful analysis of an accident resulting from exhaustion, serves as a poignant reminder that rest is critical.
