Unlike Andy I'm setting the bar high as usual so I can consistently disappoint myself. Reach for the stars and get kicked in the nuts. Story of my life. The struggle, the frustaration, the setbacks... love it

The Oak (no surprises there)
Tor 8a project ("Unzipped"). Also at the Tor Anger Management / Rage
10,000 8a nu points and 8a in a day
Decent one arm hang or even a pull-up (if golfers goes away) on a first joint edge
Reproduction and Mad Max at High Tor
Something long and classic in Yorkshire (choice of 4)
Attempt Fun de Chichunne at Kalymnos onsight (and downgrade it if sucessful, obviously)

Triple 8 newbies and a kitchen.

Triple 8 newbies......... a kitchen.

And if you had to choose?   

[SA Chris]

Keeping mine simple

1) Traverse Project No 1 - the boulder problem. Will resume attempts once seeping stops in spring.

2) Traverse project No 2 - the sea level traverse. Will resume attempts when a rising tide, daylight, a week of dry weather, calm seas, warmer seas, non-greasiness and me being fit enough to do it coincide. This didn't happen last year or the year before

Triple 8 newbies......... a kitchen.

And if you had to choose?   

...then one of the bathrooms or any one of the bedrooms would win.

[GCW]

After recurrent failures for the last x years, it's time to change tack!

1. Finish my Red Wall Link Up Project Not been
2. Boulder 7c. I think the Red Wall project will be this grade, so that is excluded.  It'd be nice to do a 7C that doesn't instantly get downgraded too.  Err, no.
3. Get a house that I can build a woody in.  Yes!  Needs a lot of work though
4. Build a woody, and more crucially, use it  Working on the persuasion
5. Tick two problems from the last few years Aims For lists  Yeah, right.
6. Run a marathon  Just survived the Manc Marathon, oh my God what shit weather
7. Go to Font  Due to Aim 3, this may be 2013
8. Do at least ten Munros and ten Wainwrights  Nine Wainwrights and counting
9. Stop drinking and get fit  Still drinking, yum.  Fittest I've been for years though, just not for climbing
10. Read ten more books from the BBC Big Read top 100  Getting there

[tomtom]

Post up my aims for 2012

Fail

[Duma]

get out more, justify van etc. it's sad, but 8 days in 4 trips to the peak is pretty good for me on this front. been to Dinas and cheddar too.

get finger fully healed and avoid new injuries. hmmmm. finger fixed, but have had shoulder, heel , and wrist injuries since then

Lowrider Not been on it, but lot's of other good grit stuff

Jungle VIP Not been down to dartmoor

Symbiose font trip got moved to peak this spring

I Comme Irun see above

[Loz!]

f*** wrong log in again

[Richie Crouch]

1. Louis Armstrong int' cave - started trying it again 2 days ago. Start to undercuts is ok as is finish, need to learn the crux slap move and stop dicking around on long linkups
2. Finish big 4 in Font - Got a bit of a shutdown on Big Golden when tired, not been on Tristesse
3. Get to Magic Wood and destroy Body Count, NES pt1, Electric Boogie - Going in September
4. Get no more points/speeding/parking tickets! Good so far, only been stopped once
5. Climb something harder than 7C on grit - Not even tried, I prefer lime/sandstone/granite/choss
6. Do some structured training instead of just relying on slowly getting better at climbing - started deadlifting/bicep work and crux replicas for helping achieve goal #1
7. Win the UKB FF! - I'd love it... just love it if I can not throw away the ~120 point lead!

Broken Sam and The Highlife

Done The Highlife. Need to get stronger for Broken Sam.

[Wil]

Onsight E5 on different rock types and onsight E4 consistently. (I prefer having routes to inspire me though Mortlock's Arete, The Golden Mile, Bloody Sunday, Great Wall, Supersonic, Calvary and Cardiac Arete are on the list). Not much trad mileage in yet, but feeling good for it.
Do a really big and reasonably hard rock route somewhere, possibly Dolomites, e.g something on the Marmolada or the Comici Route. Trip to Dolomites planned
Don't piss about going to crap venues! So far, so good, but don't count chickens...
I'm not too fussed on sport goals for next year, onsight F7b would be good and tick some classics, and I really should get to Yorkshire finally. 2 of them second go in Chorro, fairly happy with that, but should have boned down a bit harder really

[csl]

Well since everyone else has been doing it.

Goals -

Climb 7C sport - Am near to doing my first 7b+, have been on Comedy which seems doable. Will add routes, i want to do Comedy, New Dawn, Dominatrix, Vagabond
Boulder 7a regularly in a session - Not really, have done a few 7a's, but not really been bouldering.
Onsight E4 - The Axe on Cloggy would be good! Onsighted an E4, hoping to get a few more done Will add Bloody Sunday, Wellington Crack and Resurrection to this list.
Climb lots of classic V/VI winter routes. Not done, shit winter really
Climb the Frendo, Freney Pillar and Walker Spur Alps trip planned, psyched for at least 2 of these!
Go to CeuseTrip planned, psyched for Super Mickey and Vagabond!
climb Empire of the Sun at Ansteys Should get here this summer, and will get this done!

Well traverse project no 1 went down last night!!!!!!! After getting fucked over by minging wet holds wednesday before last, I had a eureka moment and I went down on Tuesday morning with a length of hosepipe and siphoned the pools out which feed the seeping sections, and amazingly it worked! So stoked to have done it, but it might not be as hard as I initially thought, as I then set up video and did it again 20 mins later.

[slackline]

Good work 

Dedication siphoning out drainage pools, hope you weren't  afterwards.

[SA Chris]

It's just seawater. Swallowed less than I do on an average surf session! Not like it's petrol or anything

[andy_e]

Good effort Chris! Show us the vid!

[SA Chris]

Will see if I can upload an unedited version, but work upload is ridiculously slow!

While we're on teh subject and with no updates likely for a few months...

Much the same as last year:

font 7C - many candidates yes, found one that succumbed
F8a - actually going to train for it this year. training was going well then paused for 3 months, picking it up again now. With grit season overrunning, lime season may have to run into oct/nov/dec. 
onsight 7a/+ consistently, E4 - Resurrection and Flaky Wall still ultimate aims & decent size/difficulty/remoteness mountain route ropes still in hibernation
