[Muenchener]

Alpine / Trad trips to any two or more of:

• Dolomites
• Oberreintal
• elsewhere in Alps e.g. Ecrins
• UK trad excursion

Frankenjura: as regularly as possible. Mop up some of 2013's open 6c+ projects in the spring then get on a 7a. But also work on my overwhelming grade/style gap by getting on some overhanging thuggy 6b+'s

When I did a coaching day with Calum Muskett back in the summer, he asked my what my long term goal is in climbing. To which I said I'm not bothered about redpointing 8a, but I'd like to be able to onsight 6b all day in the mountains. At the moment I'm nowhere near even consistently onsighting safely bolted 6b on tame little sport crags, and sport climbing is fun and the 'jura is lovely, so I'll happily focus on grade chasing there for a while. Meanwhile build up mileage/confidence/experience on some longer things around the 6a-ish level when I do get to the mountains.

[kelvin]

Some of these are a hangover from this year due to not doing trad since Aug and a complicated lovelife. I'm unsure whether to rent the house out from mid summer and head off in the van and as such targets are hard to set.

Learn to appreciate grit I guess - I just don't understand it.
Loose some more weight - 75kg  (78/79kg lately)
Generally not forget to just enjoy the mountains - scramble, wildcamp etc.
