But generally: * less working * more playing So much to do, so little time!! Quote
kevbone Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Loose more weight (lost 26 in almost 4 months) Actually put a harness on and climb outdoors more that twice (like 2010) Take my 4 year old outside to climb. Get on some harder climbs that used to feel easy and flail. Quote

letsroll Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 to climb and climb more with the g-friend. Last summer was a bust. This year will not be. Quote
keenwesh Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 be able to get up at least WI 5 by next december. I'll be at MSU Bozeman so that shouldn't be too hard. comfortable lead the grand wall over the summer. lead as many trad 11's as I can. have fun. Quote
Rad Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 - Stay healthy and climb with friends. - Crag new route FAs. Two may be too hard for this year, but other projects should go down. Do at least one multipitch rock FA in the mountains. Get more people stoked to climb at a crag I've been developing. Redpoint Bust the Rhythm and find a few other 12 projects. Get the kids on real rock more this summer, and share that with friends. One goal has already been achieved this year: boulder my first V6 indoors. Many family, friends and work tick list items, but I won't list them here... Quote
Rad Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Another important one: motivate past, present, and future team members to keep the NWMJ going! This one is hard because it depends on many people stepping up and pulling the sleigh. You know who you are... Quote
mattp Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Nice one, Rad. The NWMJ has been a major "tick" of CC.COM posters, for nearly ten years, and keeping it going is on both yours and my 2011 tick list. Anybody who doesn't know what we are talking about should check here: Northwest Mountaineering Journal Look at last year's edition and check the "archive" link to see what you've been missing. This is a project that has been fed by cc.com and the broader community of Northwest climbers for many years but is now in particular need of contributions. Quote
mattp Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 In response to this thread: my goals for the year are to (1) take advantage of improving health to climb with my friends, and (2) to enjoy a climbing season. Tick list? (1) Finish my 4 year project with a 5 pitch crag climb; (2) climb a new route on a significant Cascade peak over-looked by local hardmen because it appears easy; and (3) enjoy barbeque at tailhead upon completion of more than one climb that I think deserves a celebration.

mountainsloth Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 people! Get on Rad's climbs! They are.... well... rad! Seriously! Quote
genepires Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) people! Get on Rad's climbs! They are.... well... rad! Seriously! agreed. I did a couple and one of the two I did is the best route at the far side area. (IMO) Gear route! Rad, I think all you need to do is make a photo with route overlays and a written descriptions and the people will come. Edited March 2, 2011 by genepires Quote
Lodestone Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I really want to redpoint Chariots Of Fire. Finish a number of sweet routes. Lastly, be healthy and injury free. Chad Quote

Rad Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 You guys and your 12s – bah! My goal is to send some 10s for the 25th straight year...which will be half my life. Whoah... Like. And you plan to work on the NWMJ too, right? Quote
bwwakaranai Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 My tick list... Im sure I'll get a few tick bites at Erie But I really want to get on Freeway at Squamish, and put up a crap load of new pitches elsewhere. I'll just be happy if it doesnt snow on us in August this year. -B Quote
curtveld Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 And you plan to work on the NWMJ too, right? Um, sure...whatever I can fit into the rainy days, anyway. Quote
toproper Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 - Get more people stoked to climb at a crag I've been developing. what crag are you developing? I'm psyched to explore new crags this season. Quote
JeffreyR Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hopefully I will be able to get some time off work to climb... Tick list: 1) learn to lead trad 2)Climb in the Valhallas (Olympic Mtns) 3)Go backpacking with my dad Quote
Alex Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 - Get more people stoked to climb at a crag I've been developing. what crag are you developing? I'm psyched to explore new crags this season. It's up at Exit 38 Far Side, near Headlight Point. Rad is pretty good with giving guided tours. The area needs more aficianados. I might come out to play this Summer too and finish a proj not even Rad knows about, but will need to replenish my stolen bolt and hanger cache Quote
