Climbing Haiku

Wake up man its four
-Already? Its still dark out.
Yeah. Wheres the stove at?

...come on you bastard...
Dude, how did you place this cam?
-I don't know. Normal?

Did you see that hawk?
-Yeah that was fucking awesome!
Man that pitch was rad.

Are you kidding me?
-Maybe its stuck on that flake.
Two raps left. Long day.

Fuck intermediate accounting
Rather would I be in the mountains
headlamp on, chattin' up winnie pooh

That's not how haikus work.

water groove rappel
pounding rain, class five rapids
tangled rope, epic

ICE

The screaming barfies
On a single screw anchor
This is Type II fun

SPORT

Bolts, bolts everywhere
Gym climbers wearing Spandex
The 80's just called...

BIG WALL

Multiple hook moves
Above sketchy gear placements
Partner should have led

MOUNTAINEERING

My 50 lb. pack
Digs deep into my shoulders
Fast and light, my ass!

I made a book of 350 climbing haiku and 10 linocut images. Available on my website and various climbing gyms and shops.
