• get a beastmaker and actually use it

specific goals

• the crack
• optimus prime ss
• noir desir

[Muenchener]

Focus on areas/experiences rather than chasing numbers.

   Frankenjura as regularly as possible

And any two of the following:
   Dolomites again
   Oberreintal looks great: planned trip last June fell victim to weather & illness
   Swiss/Italian alpine granite: Handegg, Salbit, Mello ...
   Welsh trad nostalgia trip

But also: 6c, 6C

[Duma]

Having been on here for nearly seven years and never having managed a years aims....

get out more, justify van etc.

get finger fully healed and avoid new injuries.

Lowrider

Jungle VIP

Symbiose

I Comme Irun

(I'm at work, so can justify christmas day postings - what's your excuses?)

[Grubes]

General Stuff
Sports:
Onsight a 6c
do more than 1 7a or harder

Bouldering:
6C or harder

Trad:
More multipitch this year
solid E1 onsight
Onsight E3

Specific Stuff
Do a grand day out in the slate quarries in best possible style
Pebble Wall
tick a 7a or harder in costa blanca march
Get in loads of millage in my Font trip
enter a bouldering comp
Visit the slate quarries more than once

[willackers]

Font 8B

[Oldmanmatt]

Me too...

Sport:

Recover the stamina to on sight a 7a, longer than 10mtrs.
8a without having to top rope. (a real challenge as I've hardly climbed routes on real rock for over a year).

Trad:

Uh, maybe...
If I can find where I put my head and rebuild my rack. Never managed more than E4 trad so, I'd like to get an E5... Rack looks like something from a museum. ( this may be a longer term goal).

Bouldering:

Font 8a, anywhere.
Finish super trooper, before the summer is out. (V8 )

Work out how the hell to convert between V grades and Font grades...

Mainly recover my head, as at the mo, I'm falling off things because I'm scared of falling off.
(what the hell is that all about!)

Much of this is dependant on me getting back some self confidence, which has taken a battering over the last couple of years.

Oh yeah. Remember how to talk to other people and find someone to climb with who will understand why I can't commit at the moment ( and won't immediately call for the men in the white coats, if I have a tantrum after falling off).

Wow just discovered, if type 8 and then ), in tapatalk you get ..

[chillax]

General

- Move to Vancouver/Squamish for at least 6 months

- Get a job in back country mineral exploration
- Try not stuff up things in life that are important to me, while doing what i need to do

Climbing

- Boulder 7b
- Trad E4 in Ireland, get to grips with north american 5.10 cracks
- Go to Indian Creek, Vedauwoo, Joshua Tree, and the Black Canyon
- Aid C3, solo something inspiring in Yosemite and try to take less than a week doing it

[Monolith]

Simply, my project. More broadly, try to realise potential with a job that can afford me the money and time to do this.

Best wishes to all of you with your goals. Happy christmas squad!

[csl]

Goals -

Climb 7C sport
Boulder 7a regularly in a session
Onsight E4 - The Axe on Cloggy would be good!
Climb lots of classic V/VI winter routes.
Climb the Frendo, Freney Pillar and Walker Spur
Go to Ceuse
climb Empire of the Sun at Ansteys

[csl]

oh and go to fairhead!

[Duma]

You've got your upper and lower cases mixed up csl.

[csl]

cheers. Always get them mixed up. Luckily the 'boulder' and 'sport' should make it clear enough?

[Footwork]

Specific Goal

-Climb New Dawn at Malham, climb 7c for the first time.

General Goals

-Climb a few good E3's and E4's, Such as Wellington crack and Tippler direct.
-Climb grade V winter. Orion face direct or point five would be nice
-Boulder 7b

Bring on 2012 and all that it offers!

[Fiend]

Same as last year but let's hope there's some fucking proper weather 

1. Steadily up my levels of general activity and fitness training until they become habitual.

2. Keep in touch with partners and keep organised AND try to be part of an active positive scene, not just climbing but general fitness.

3. Get to somewhere interesting in late Jan (Morocco? Gibraltar?) and early April (Pfalz? Annot?).

4. Week long trip to Lewis, several days sea-cliffing in Skye, long weekend in Ardnamurchan.

5. Explore more bouldering over winter, esp: Glen Nevis, Torridon/Reiff, Skye, Carrock Fell, Queen's Crag, Shaftoe, Rothley, Simonside

6. Climb a few E5s and maybe a few F7a+s if I get my fitness back

7. Keep fit at gym, pool, and wall.

8. Lose 1 stone via the above.

Sounds so simple on paper. All appendages crossed. 

[i_a_coops]

Get a first. (or at least a good 2.1)
onsight 7b+/c
do some uk 8as
Chimes of Freedom
more 7Cs, on lime and grit
hopefully 7C+
Old-school road trip to Buoux, Verdon & Ceuse in summer/autumn. Do some exciting multipitches.
Do some hardish-but-safe trad without groundfall potential.
Do some daft link up projects in Cheddar.

Try harder than last year not to get injured - no training when sleep-deprived, no dangerous routes.

[Eddies]

Conditions in the Peak is crap atm, above all this year I hope for good weather to allow me to get out as much as possible.

The next step for me seems like quite a big one, I hope these goals are realised:

V10 On Grit
V10 On Lime
At least one hard grit route
Improve on 2011's total of 3 routes on the lime! Bagging my first 8a would be ideal

Maintain my periodised training at the wall and home, further develop beastly finger strength and hone sic power endurance in time for summers lime crushing plans.

Trips:
Northumberland
Berry Head
Font

Happy crushing all, best of luck for 2012... BRING IT ON 

[Andy F]

Sport 8b - The Ripper/The Oak
Boulder 7B+, or at least put some effort into something. For once.

[nai]

Much the same as last year:

font 7C - many candidates
F8a - actually going to train for it this year. 
onsight 7a/+ consistently.
E4 - Resurrection and Flaky Wall still ultimate aims
decent size/difficulty/remoteness mountain route.

[lagerstarfish]

pretty much the same as the last 15 years

boulder 7C

boulder with other people

and a new one - film other people and feel OK about editing footage of their efforts

[ziggytang]

Start training seriously and climb some proper 7C boulders!! 

[iain]

I'm in.

Main climbing goal is to stop pissing about and actually do some projects that I know I can do but haven't actually done.
Climb somewhere other than Swanage and Portland.
8a - several, where and what is negotiable
Font 7C, in font. Multiple candidates I've tried but inevitably something that suits me and that is probably soft. I should probably do real 7B+ too.
E4 - do and consolidate. And maybe, just maybe an E5 like Wall of the Worlds or even Lean Machine.

The most important thing though is to get a good result in the degree and then use the thing to actually find a job, possibly even one I'd like.

[Doylo]

Climb 8b+ (Walking Mussel)
Do my two new route projects on NWales lime
Finish off The Brute on the Diamond
Do lots of boulder problems 7c and above in N wales.
Put some good time in on Liquid Ambar and some links.
Be able to afford a holiday this year 

[Nigel]

Climb 8b+ before Doylo.
Do Doylo's two new route projects on NWales lime. Before Doylo.
Do The Brute on the Diamond, before Doylo.
Do more boulder problem 7c and above in N wales than Doylo.
Put in less time than Doylo on Liquid Ambar, and yet do better links.
Take fewer holidays, gets tiresome when money no object.

[Doylo]

I think you will Nige. My list was pretty optimistic as i have some strange illness and in reality if i'm still alive come Feb i'll be chuffed

[chris j]

Hmmm, after this year's poor show (1 from 4), do I carry on with more of the same or change tack?

Let's see...

Sport - more 7b+ (probably The Lynch or Threadbare LH start). A 7c would be a bonus. Check out venues other than Ansteys and Torbryan, maybe Brean Down.

Trad - failed even to get on last year's goals so... lead E3 regularly. Do a couple of E4s. Be brave and lead Call to Arms on Sanctuary Wall. As per sport, climb at more venues - Avon, Cheddar, Wye valley. Take advantage of CC membership and spend more time in Pembroke and Penwith.

Running - 1hr 35min half marathon. Got the Exeter half in mid-Feb so not much time for this.

Not get injured for two years in a row...

I'm not greedy, will be happy with any of the above!
