olyclimber Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Happy New Year! Hope 2017 was a good year for you, and if it wasn’t then you’ve got a whole new year to work with! Post up your goals for 2018 if you have any. Climbing wise I honestly just want to get my fat ass out more this year. More just peak bagging and scrambling, just being outside! Other than that it, now that we have a good platform I want to continue to make this website better. I also am looking forward to hunting deer and moose in SE AK with my brother and son. I also have a simple goal of seeing how many sunrises I can see in one year. So far 1 for 1. Quote
JasonG Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 That sunrise goal is going to make you work for it in June and July. I typically don't set New Year's goals, but I would like to continue to figure out my new camera, finally beat my tendonitis, and climb a few more things in Canada. And finally get out with Oly! 1 Quote
olyclimber Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 Ha if I make it that far I’ll be very happy. Let’s do it! Quote
ivan Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 - go round mum's - get liz back - sort life out! 1 Quote
JasonG Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 That was certainly a good one this morning! Quote
Bronco Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 More time in the mountains with the bros, less time working/stressing. 1 Quote
Alisse Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Happy New Year!!! Thank you for your work on this site and the invaluable and hilarious forums, Olyclimber! And to you, JasonG, thank you for all of the inspiring and wonderful photos you always include in your trip reports... My goals: Post more often here and on the TAY forums! Not die in an avalanche, car, or bike accident Do more yoga to keep the ol' sciatica in check Improve my skiing form and transition time Climb the N Ridge of Baker, then ski the Coleman-Deming Make a concerted effort to lead trips with less- and similarly-experienced people to get lost/improve my routefinding skills Climb and ski more often with other women/people who aren't cis men Go to more hot springs Go back for a third Oregon Volcano Fest with Andy and carry it into California to ski Shasta and Lassen Lose fewer socks (I wanted the guitar-playing one but this'll do.) 1 Quote
olyclimber Posted January 3, 2018 Author Posted January 3, 2018 Thats an awesome list. I like the hot springs one! Quote
JasonG Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 3 for 3 Oly! Thanks Alisse! Better stay away from most of us dudes in 2018 though. We put the bastard in cis. Quote
Stefan Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 My goal. Get out when I can. This climbing thingy comes after the priority with the family and job--gotta pay the gas bill to my climbing places somehow! No more days off for watching Seahawks. That's a relief. Quote

My goals #6 and #7 were intricately linked, hopefully you understand 😎 PS Many of best friends and best climbing partners have been cis dudes. Quote
Rad Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 1 - Stay healthy. 2 - A few FAs somewhere somehow. 3 - A few memorable wilderness sufferfests w friends. 4 - One bucket list climb. 5 - More cowbell. 1 Quote
olyclimber Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 not as thrilling of a rise today , but will make the best of it. Yes Rad, more cowbell. Quote
AnthonyL Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Gonna have a fun year in the mountains of Washington! Goals: Lead wi4 on ice. Lead 8s and maybe 9s on gear in alpine. Lead 10s on gear at crag. Make it into the Pickets and Mt. Olympus this summer. Gunsights if I have time. Rainier C2C? Big year I guess. Quote
olyclimber Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 sunrise was boring this morning. fog. it just slowly got brighter. if everyday there was beautiful sunrise, then every sunrise would be average. 1 Quote
JayB Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Keep the streak of climbing at least one day a year alive. Surprisingly hard to pull off lately! Will also put "Join VW-North" on the list if it actually gets completed this year. 1 Quote
