ken4ord Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Fly far away from home, climb some cool shit. Hell yeah man, I can wait. I'll be at the airport today. Quote
Rad Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Climb some cool stuff with great partners. Perhaps my first sport 5.12a. Metamorphosis FA (developed last fall but not completed due to rain). And hopefully this in the spring: Maybe something like this in the late summer: Quote
wayne Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 top three: 1. Mongo Ridge in Pickets 2. NE Butt of Steinbok 3. Free ascent of W Face Gunsight Your kidding right? I didnt want that as my goal, it set its hooks in me. My Goals: 1. Hoze 2. Combine the pickets traverses. 3. New rt in Gunsight range. 4. Project X Quote
Frikadeller Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 2) Ramp up fitness training starting with Ruckle Ridge next weekend, Ohhh... Thats a fun trail when it's raining out... Plus I think the top is all snow, creating a fun route finding adventure. I might see ya up there if these shitty avy conditions persist. It seems like every time I've done the Ruckle it's been during a windy, rainy day leading to snow atop. Last time I spent 40 minutes trying to find the trail down. Finally had to break out the map and compass. I actually went up to the area two days ago and scoped it out from both Wauna Viewpoint and from the bottom of the ridge. From basically just above the first scree/talus section the entire ridge is snow.. And not your usual 6inches of gorge snow, but up to two feet... Have fun, I turned around since it was getting dark. Although there are boot tracks up there, so someone is doing it in the snow. Quote

Off_White Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I've got some new projects in the Cascades, but they've been on the list for awhile, so pre-spray would be inappropriate and likely embarassing. I'd like to spend a week in the Valley in May with my son, doing some of the classic grade IV's like NE Butt Higher, E Butt Middle, E Butt El Cap, Serenity/Sons, and possibly something wacky like Galactic Hitchhiker. I'm also hoping to cobble together a springtime 30th reunion ascent of the Happy Hooker on Trono Blanco. In terms of sure things, I know I'll be climbing most Wednesdays in Tenino, everything else is wishes. Quote

As long as you are not poaching my lines! I'd like to spend a week in the Valley in May with my son, doing some of the classic grade IV's like NE Butt Higher, E Butt Middle, E Butt El Cap, Serenity/Sons, and possibly something wacky like Galactic Hitchhiker. Look forward to those TR's! Quote
Sherri Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 In terms of sure things, I know I'll be climbing most Wednesdays in Tenino, everything else is wishes. "If wishes were horses, this beggar would ride." I'll be happy for anything I can get on this summer(last summer seemed like one rained out trip after another ), but especially so if I can get solid on my 5.8 leads and break into the .9's. Quote
RuMR Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I'd like to re-redpoint some old favorites of mine and actually finish off some "nemesises"...(routes, that is) Quote

lizard_brain Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 -Solo all of the Tattoosh peaks (except Stevens) in a day. -Do Stuart again, possibly combined with a ridge-run and summit of Sherpa. (Not mountaineering related) -Run the North Olympic Discovery Marathon in under 4 hours. Quote
TimL Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Try to find the best way to spend 4 to 8 months in the States with hitting new areas. Climb something good in Indian Creek in the Fall. Climb a couple good routes in the Cascades and then a couple glacier slogs. Maybe check out the Sierra. Hopefully make it to Patagonia a year from now. Bump up the onsite grade. Too much, glad I have some time off. Have a good time with the boss. Oh, and finally get the red taped boulder problem at the gym. Make it back to Spain in one piece. Quote

G-spotter Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I would bet 99% of the Pre-spray posted in this thread results in jinxes. Quote
Blake Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 we could review the past threads of similar nature and see. I think some folks climbed their goals... Quote
