Reminds me of that strange breed of Queenslander that often frequents Frog Buttress and KP. They wear camo and army boots, turf bits of rock off the top of cliffs without a care in the world, and then abseil front-side first screaming at the top of their lungs.

Funny thing is, they know what climbs they're going down. It's not that rare to hear them say "I went down a grade 23 last week".

Some mothers, as they say, do 'ave 'em.
