A bit of the old thread necromancy here (if you love the thread enough does it become thread necrophilia?).

Spent the last few days pottering around Buffalo (about the only climbing venue in the state that is not on fire, it would seem), getting a bit of climbing in between soaks in the lake. The climbing inspired a few limericks (some would say not inspired enough, but never mind)...

Regarding the joys of bashing through dense post-fire snowgum regrowth in search of obscure crags listed in the guidebook:

A Kevin Lindorff approach,
Is much more heinous than most.
While following his guide
We quite nearly died
emerging tired, lacerated and roast.

Celebrating M9's accent of the horrific looking Ethical Drum (M7):

A spry old gent named M9
Spied a likely looking aid line.
But when the seam became thin,
He hammered a pin
Proving his ethics no better than mine.
