Cheers, forgot about all of them! Keen for Western and River of Life, although they all look very hard (Low rider in particular!)

[205Chris]

they all look very hard

They wouldn't be 7C+ if they weren't 

[Gritlad]

 
scrap that aim 

[csl]

Trad:
At least attempt to do some E3s and E4s.
If not that then at least feel like I'm reaching my potential! - You won't be at your potential even when climbing E3's and 4's! Get Grand Illusion and the big three done at least!


More reading, less TV - Can thoroughly recommend David Millar's book 'Racing through the dark' if you've not read it already.

[csl]

Re-establish regular climbing and training - move somewhere/ meet people that makes this possible.

Sport

Climb more 7c sport routes, and a 7c+. Get some southern projects. Anyone have anything to recommend at Portland/Swanage?

Go to Ceuse - Finish off Vagabond. Try Les Collonetes and Priviledge du Serpent.

Beat last years '7's' - 18

Trad

Get back up to E4 onsights again.
and Wall of the Worlds/ any other cool looking E5.

Beat last years E-points - 78

Climb Freeborn Man

Sub 18minute 5k

[Jim]

get the board back out of calums garage and build it in the cellar.
Then train like a demon and lose a load of weight and become a beast.
Also climb in the 7's again

[jwi]

1) Put up a new multi pitch route somewhere cool.  Montrebei perhaps?
2) Redpoint a 45m+ continuous vertical 8b (in real grades™)
3) Redpoint a 8b+/c strength endurance route.
4) Visit some of the great areas I have not been to yet. Verdon or Chamonix or Rätikon.

[Paul B]

after watching the recent video of Caprez, Rätikon has climbed ever higher on the 'list'.

2013:

1) Buy/borrow/steal massive rack
2) 6 month trip
3) Find job, preferably one I enjoy, close to home with a sympathetic (to climbing) boss.

[chris j]

Rethink after epic failures on all of 2012's goals...

2013:

1. Recover from current injuries (dodgy neck, torn pulley).
2. Not get any more injuries.
3. Trad - do some. I live in Devon and have easy access to Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset etc, how hard can this be? Go to Pembroke & Swanage.
4. Sport - Stop repeating Thread Flintstone ad infinitum & do at least a couple of 7s that are new to me. Only did one this year and that was softer than a soft thing that's been squashed by Mr Softy.
5. DWS - do more than the one afternoon we did this year.
6. make use of CC membership & use the huts.
7. Take more photos.
8. 1.5 BW deadlift (without putting my back out again). So ~112kg. At which point I can justify some grown up olympic weights...

No specific route goals as that invariably means I won't even get on them but vague aspirations locally: Call to Arms, the Lynch, Threadbare, Rainbow Bridge, White Rhino Tea, White Life.

[iwasmexican]

goals:
-finish off a bunch of stuff i should have done this year (v crimps, transformer lh, spam, severus snape, sabotage, astro nave- optionally)
-consistently 7C in a session
-8A without a doubt attempt some harder stuff, 8A+, 8B...
-keep with the board
-get to ratho every so often and get better at routes (better not stronger)
-stretch a lot more and stay as injury free as possible)

[Yossarian]

The File
Gigglin' Crack
Separate Reality

[Fiend]

Pfalz.

Berdorf.

Lewis.

Climb some challenging routes at Glen Nevis, Creag Dubh, and Ullapool area.

Keep active in general.

[Stabbsy]

Didn't manage much of last year's list, except for number 1 so same again :-

1. Go climbing somewhere other than Kilnsey.
2. Redpoint F8a again (not sure if this is incompatible with the first one).
3. Onsight F7b+ in the UK.
4. Onsight a few more Euro F7cs.
5. More trad trips to the Lakes/Wales/South West/Scotland.
6. Onsight E6 (been climbing E5 for 10+ years, so at least trying one would be a good start).
7. Boulder 7C on the grit.

and a few running ones ...

8. sub 18 minute 5k
9. sub 38:30 for 10k
10. sub 1:28:00 half marathon

Killerweed
Austrian Oak
Anger Management
Do the moves on Mecca
Re-bolt some Peak routes starting with Tin Of
Onsight a 7c
10,000 8a nu points
2 new routes I've got my eye on
One arm an edge

[The Weather]

Sorry about last year, my bad but really, it's time to stop whingeing and get over it.

Jan/Feb - produce some cold, crisp days perfect for the grit
Spring - lots of long dry spells to dry the limestone nicely
Summer - stable temps so the Tor (and cornice, rubicon, Malham, Kilnsey etc) isn't condensed to fuck every morning combined with some pleasant breezy days for grit routers to maybe explore the Moors with their new guides
Autumn - long and lingering with the limestone season extending into a cold but not freezing November to ensure good nick for maximum sendage potential
Nov/Dec - some nice cold snaps for early grit season motivation

[Jim]

These are supposed to be realistic aims!

[c.j.d.]

Get things finished! 

Complete Orme project - just need to get Christmas over indulgence out of the way.

Hit Switzerland well, return and continue.

Carry on with other projects, and finish them.

Basically, get better at being better and stop being fat.

[Falling Down]

After the personal train wreck of 2012..... (last time I had rock boots on was April)

Start climbing again (tomorrow)
Get back into the 7's on routes and boulders
Visit lots of new places now I'm in the South (Portland, Devon, Cornwall, Pembroke)
Spain in Feb, Kalymnos in May, somewhere else in the Autumnn

Swap the Audi for a camper van

Go surfing in Devon and Cornwall

Play my guitar more

Improve my handwriting and write more

[Baldy]

After succeeding in the last year to avoid injury and climb well I feel that I have put myself in a strong position for the coming year.

Once the initial post-christmas languidness and obesity have worn off, my aims are:

Triple 8 project - 8a, 8A and E8

In order to achieve this I aim to succeed in these goals:

Lose the christmas weight and then continue till I hit ~70kg
Force myself to earn some stamina points by tying onto a rope and doing some of those route things.
Go to Ceuse and make use of my new jug hauling ability to scrape my way up a problem or two.

Do some DWS as I have still to learn how it feels to be shitting myself above a swirling void of darkness.

Boulder somewhere in America - ideally Hueco or Joes Valley. This will be a year end reward for being a good boy and training hard.

Actually make a few videos with my camera, maybe even one/a series charting this progress.

Consider what I want to do with my life? 

[Yossarian]

Play my guitar more

Oh yeah, I forgot - buy a banjo and learn how to play Old MacDonald...

[mrjonathanr]

Go to Ceuse - Finish off Vagabond. .... Privilege du Serpent.

Do you want any tips for these 2?

[b3n99]

Bouldering
Need to step it up on the grit, 7C+ this year, hopefully 3, candidates include; low rider, western eyes, river of life and salle goose (7C?)
Finish Ben's Roof ( Shouldn't take long ) and climb some more 7C+'s and an 8A.
Do County Ethics, looks sick

Sport Climbing
Consolidate at 8a with some peak ones and maybe some Kilnsey stuff.
Do 8a+ (probably caviar)

Trad
Flash E6 (Nosferatu), just get more confident placing gear and take a decent fall!

[JacobJacob]

My ridiculously optimistic goals for 2013 are:

Become unfingjured.

Bat Route at Malham.

San Simeon in Pembroke, DWS.

Climb some big walls in Greenland.

[iain]

- Onsight proper E5 and then do it regularly
- Push myself enough to potentially take proper safe falls on trad
- Infinite Gravity
- Do more of and consolidate 7c+/8a, I have a list of classic routes
- Regularly climb at places other than Portland/Swanage (aim for once a month), and something other than Limestone (aim for 4 trips away)
- Keep injuries to a minimum and rehab properly
- Train consistently

Sport
Climb more 7c sport routes, and a 7c+. Get some southern projects. Anyone have anything to recommend at Portland/Swanage?

Trad
Get back up to E4 onsights again.
and Wall of the Worlds/ any other cool looking E5.

This thread has some good recommendations for sport, and give me a shout if you're looking for trad partners.

[Footwork]

My 2012 was pretty shite in terms of bulk climbing. 48 logged climbs..  I did however manage to climb my hardest boulder and spend a month and a bit in the Alps. So more of that please and over a hundred climbs this time.
