To Max

Oh that really sucks

Do physical therapy

it really does help

Acupuncture is

A very wonderful tool

For relieving pain

thanks for the red bull

"you look tired, kid" you said

your guess was golden

Now 18 months strong

This thread has really come along

Climbers love haikus

Sometimes? It's one move

telling us we are alive.

Hands, rock, heartbeats, friend.

Thank you Lady H

Adding friend is beautiful

Our community 

Winter was so long

In this year of loss and pain.

Spring brings climbing rock

Again. 

Wounds healed, hands gone soft

Itchy, restless for new goals

To climb once again

Hand on the brake strand

The other on a cold one

"On belay! Sort of..."

I thought that I was

“Could be worse,” I yell

In each hand, a cold one held

Ope, my partner fell

Thank God for Grigri

Up for the Nobel Peace Prize

It’s raining again 

Watching it fall, I rest more 

I’m ready to send 

Well folks, here's an interesting turn of event for this epic thread.  It is clear from this and other online Climbing Haiku compilations that there's something special going on with the poets of the climbing world.  We are proud to make this announcement:

During COVID downtime, a group of volunteer rock climbers worked together to create a climbing haiku book. We're partnered with the nation's leading organization for safe rock climbing initiatives (American Safe Climbing Association safeclimbing.org), aiming to raise >$15k to replace over 4,000 dangerous, aging rock climbing bolts in several outdoor locations. We've been working on the project for over a year and I'm excited to tell you that we just launched on Kickstarter!

We're volunteering our time and all proceeds are going to support ASCA's cause.  Our goal is to purchase enough bolts for the ASCA to rebolt over 500 routes, and we can't do it without your support. We'd be honored if you'd help us create momentum for the project with a $13 purchase of our book, "On Climbing: The Book of Rock Climbing Haikus."  If this interests you, we'd also appreciate if you'd take a few minutes to let friends know, driving more awareness for this project. Check out the link below!

This is really cool,
but it's far too many words.
Please write as Haiku. ;)

Even though you failed
to write this post in Haiku,
I still bought a book.

Paraphrasing Salem:

Poem for a friend

Turns into a book for y’all

To replace old bolts

Books, for brainiacs.

Audible.com for us,

Mumbled by Tradi!

Do you like Haikus?

New book with pics and poems,

All proceeds rebolt.

Steve G and Gaarth D,
Thank you for rewording in
proper haiku form!
