Daily Climbing Haiku

Belaying provides a lot of time to daydream, plan blog posts and compose poetry.  We plan to fill this page with lots of haiku penned during our 2018 autumn trip to Yosemite.  Feel free to add your own poetry in the comments box below!

Crying Time Again

Cold, cold, cold on Lambert Dome

Climb towards the sun
- Marian

Mighty Cathedral

Peak Climb. How windy were you?!

Proud tick for Team Jones
- Simon

John Muir sent the peak

Of Tuolumne’s high Temple

In his walking boots
- Marian

Dear Bear Box

We like you well stocked

Beer, beer, beans.

- Alice (couldn't remember Haiku rules!)

Climbing on El Cap

Always smells of wee because

There’s lots of smash back

- Marian

Stuck in a chimney

Grunt, squirm, wriggle, swear, whimper

Five eight on Free Blast

- Marian

‘Freeblast’ was not quite

Some aid climbing required

But awesome day had

- Simon

Some twat stole our stuff
Took our gear and our mojo
Climbing days are gone
- Marian
