There once was a climber named Fred
"I like climbing without ropes"he said
He could have used some gear
When a rock fell near
And now poor Fred.. is dead

There once was a climber from Nantucket
When his pro was thin he thought F*#k it
He move up with a wimper
Ended up taking a whipper
And almost ended up kicking the bucket

There once was a gal from Tuolumne
She said that she wanted to follow me
I showed the lass a good time
When asked for a swig of her wine
She replied "You can just swallow me"

So many aspire to heed the call
but take up sport climbing rather than risking a fall
yet when their manhood is impugned
they invoke sophistry like a bunch of buffoons
and wind up just bellowing 'get phukked y'all!'

Lost Arrow
Poets are a dime a doz.
I know one who might be my cuz
Who said he could climb
As well as make rhyme
But was not as good as he said he was.
He got drunk late one night.
It was a pitiful sight--
While fetching an arrow
His escape was quite narrow
He's dinged but he says he's all right.

I was driving up to the Black Hills with Bonnie Kamps and asked her about the limericks that Bob and Mark Powell used to kick around while out climbing. She told me she didn't pay attention to them enough to remember any and besides "I could tell by the way they were laughing that I wasn't supposed to hear them anyway."

Yes, Mark had quite a store of off color limericks. It was when he got together with his old, dear friend, George Sessions that the tone of their laughter strongly suggested that it was a bawdy conversation.

There's an old cobbler known here as Locker
Who seems just a bit off his rocker
He fixes your shoe
using way too much glue
The effects? you can read on the Taco.

A ragged young dirtbag named Chuck
Had the world's most incredible luck.
Found a Salathe' pin
With thr 'biner still in
Said Chessler, "I'll give you five bucks!"

The Taco’s a forum for climbers.
Some turn out to be kooky old whiners.
When polititards rant,
The rest of us chant,
Let’s just become rock climbing rhymers.

IN PRAISE OF PINS
A piton will open a can.
It will spread peanut butter or jam.
It will serve as a fork
Eating canned beans and pork -
Just try that one using a cam!

Once Stannard, while risking a whip
Called for slack as he jumped for the lip.
When asked how he knew
That the route would go through?
He replied with a shrug he knew "zip".

A man named Sloan who just couldn't quietly drill away all alone
put himself on the spot
- either a dick or a tw#t -
said those wanting to pick at the bone.
*I know nonesuch of the man or his deeds, just the furor. ABBA ain't limericky, I know.

Remember this when on The Nose.
God forbid you should be on Boot Flake
When there's a significant quake.
Though remains might be found -
You'd be so finely ground
You would look like a hamburger steak.

There was a young dirtbag named Jones
Who delighted in trundling stones.
But it came as a shock
When he fell with the rock-
Maybe Facelift will locate his bones.

Gotta love that old school dark humor.
Limericks are great fun just like this thread.

I'm somewhat immobilized for a couple of days, so here we go again. Sorry about that!
On a ledge drenched with precipitation
Warren Harding proposed a libation;
"Though it's not the right sort,
In a storm, ANY port
Will be adequate for the occasion!"
(Okay, okay, I'll shut up!)

A climber by the name of Wayne Merry
Didn't mind if the going got scary.
"I must drive this piton,"
Said the man with a yawn
Or the lot of us soon they will bury.
