Great turnout, great energy. 6 - No major injuries. 2016: 1 - No major injuries. 2 - Complete the FA of a single pitch project that thwarted me in October. 3 - Thrash in the PNW mountains and crags with good friends again and hopefully FA one or more great lines. 4 - Discover, develop, and unlock at least one great single pitch line. 5 - Help a friend successfully launch a new climbing gym and help another friend successfully launch a new guidebook. 6 - Take kids (mine and others) outside to experience the joy of climbing. 7 - Bugaboos if weather and schedules permit.
