Mountaineering puns that will have you reaching for the oxygen
Puns are the salt of the comedic universe. Go overboard with them, and you’ll ruin the flavour of an entire evening. Refuse to use them at all and you’re staring straight down the barrel of a bland and boring social occasion.
In the past, we’ve done running puns, travel puns, ski and snowboard puns, mountain bike puns and beach puns (to name a few). Until now though, we’ve never done mountain puns. We wanted to change that and so, without further ado, please stick on your crampons and join us as we ascend this laughter-spewing hill together. It’s less of a mountain, and more of a ‘lol-cano’.1) The part of my head I use for listening keeps climbing Mont Blanc. What can I say? It’s a mountain-ear

3) What’s a mathematician’s favourite part of a mountain? The summit

4) The mountains in Switzerland are incredible. And their flag is a big plus as well

12) Did you hear about the monster who eats wandering mountain walkers? Apparently it’s his favourite type of trail mix

13) Who was the mountain’s favourite singer? Cliff Richard

14) Solving problems in the mountains is easy. It really Alps to clear your head

15) I was going to make another mountain pun but I can’t think of summit

16) My friend didn’t believe me when I said I was going to climb Kilimanjaro. “Actions peak louder than words,” they told me

17) The mountain climber was doing so well but was eventually grind to a fault

20) You need to wrap up on mountains or you’ll catch a fold…
