Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
And on that farm he had a cow
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
With a moo moo here
And an Ice-axe there
Here a moo, there an axe
Everywhere some heavy packs
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
And on that farm he had a crevasse
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
With a ‘biner here
And a ‘biner there
Here a rope, there and anchor
Rescue people from the cracks
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
And on that farm he had an avalanche
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
With whoomping here
And a terrain trap there
Here new snow, there a weak layer
Better not walk just here chaps
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
And on that farm he had a Summit Plateau
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
With a tent-site here
And a poo pot there
Here a summit, there some ice
Time for a dawn multi-pitch
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
And on that farm he had an ice-climb
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snow
Set up an anchor here
Abseil down there
Here some rock, there some ice
Tech tools take me up the face
With a tent-site here
And a poo pot there
Here a summit, there some ice
Time for a dawn multi-pitch
With whoomping here
And a terrain trap there
Here new snow, there a weak layer
Better not walk just here chaps
With a ‘biner here
And a ‘biner there
Here a rope, there and anchor
Rescue people from the cracks
With a moo moo here
And an Ice-axe there
Here a moo, there an axe
Everywhere some heavy packs
Old Mac-Stephen had a farm
Lots-And-Lots-Of-Snooooooooooooooooooooooow
