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

 

Not kidding at all. Your slide show in mt. vernon inspired me. overall the rock didn't look too bad (especially for the pickets). the possibility of a direct line up the tower of remoteness and a repeat of one of the longer routes in the cascades is quite enticing. seems more sane than hozemeen, but i geuss that one set its hooks in you as well.

climb a v5 in the gym (no making fun)

 

Just climb at Stone gardens. I'm sure there will be one you can do. Probably next to the v1 you can't get off the ground on.

 

Summer goals: Spend enough time in the mountains that I get hassled at work for either the amount of time I take off or the condition I show up in on Monday mornings.

Fly far away from home, climb some cool shit.

 

Hell yeah man, I can wait. I'll be at the airport today.

 

Well we didn't get to climb much, but it was an adventure for sure. Hell between ebola outbreaks, gas shortages, puking, shitting, passing out in thigh deep bogs, car surfing, loosing a murse, cattles stampedes and tearing it up until 4am in a sketchy part of town, I can definitely say it was an ADVENTURE. It will be interesting to see what the rest of 2008 has in store.

Sierra - never climbed here so it should be fun

Yosemite - El Cap

Indian Creek

Hueco or Buttermilks/Owens River Gorge

Hopefully back to Spain in one piece.

 

A lot of climbing, hang out with family and friends who I havn't seen in forever and a lot of fun are the most important goals.
