Decided to set some targets and throw my cards on the table for the first time in over 15 years.

Boulder 7C ( not one I have done before)
Boulder 7B on the school 50 deg board.
Red point 8a.

Get barrelled on my backhand.
Proper fins out turn on my forehand

Get my working week (mon-fri) under 50 hours.

Good one Gav. Looks like a middle aged renaissance for many on here in 2015.

Bring it on

[Dolly]

Good to have you back FD.
My shed is round the corner and I'm always up for winter grit action.
Lamping as well

Nice one Dolly... Up for it. I've got rid of that single pivot bike, and got a nice complex multi linkage. The single pivot must of rotted my mind. 

  Ill change my sig then

French 8a
something inspiring in the mountains/on trad gear

[Falling Down]

- Play my guitar and sing out live.
- Write some songs and press an EP or album.
- Get barrelled lots on the Indo boat trip.
- Do a good time in the Henley bridge to bridge eight mile swim.
- Try to become a Dad.

Some premature congratulations have been rolling in :-)

[galpinos]

Once again, most of these are the same as 2014 as I totally underestimated (again) the effect a mini-galpinos would have but I'm now on the road to beast-dom so all is good......

Climbing:
Font 7c – The Goal, anything else is a nice to have.

30 new 7s (new to me, not new problems)
Tick the problems on The List
E5
7c

Running:
Sub 19.5 5k
Sub 40 10k
Sub 90 half
More fell runs and turn up to the Mountain Marathons in better shape.

I've got a training plan sorted for the climbing and (assuming I'm allowed back into the running club) the running goals should all be possible. Just need to ensure my work doesn't spill over into real life anymore than is totally necessary.

[csurfleet]

Last year: Too down and fat for real plans

2015:

1 - First ascents in the desert
2 - Get on a big wall (SFWC or WFLT), bonus would be getting to the top
3 - Picnic %$^ing Sarcastic (it hates me)
4 - Get strong enough to make some real sport climbing targets for 2016

[Fiend]

1. Winter grit.
2. Berdorf.
3. Pfalz.
4. Move South.

Did Berdorf for a week way back in 1992. Great climbing, really nice mix of styles of routes and certainly at the time, it was fairly sparsely bolted I seem to recall. Dossed in the woods and in a bus shelter much to the annoyance of the locals. Also stopped in Belgium on the drive down for some limestone routes and techo vinyl shopping 

[kelvin]

No no no... I'm holding out, there's still too many days of climbing left this year before setting goals for 2015!

[jwi]

Finding inspiring and useful goals was surprisingly difficult for me. That in itself tells me something...

Goals for 2015:

1.  Trying to redpoint something hard, and not giving up just because it takes more than a few tries.

2.  Trying something very long and quite runout (the red-point crux should be at least 55 above ground) (probably in Gorges du Tarn, but Verdon is also OK) that is hard enough so that I take at least a few really long falls. [Not being fazed by the falls would be a BHAG]

[Wood FT]

Carry on getting on the trad routes I get psyched for.

nice one on track of the cat Will!

4. Move South.

Fiend! No!  I'll miss your Highland bouldering tours and knowing that it's more than just me and Rich doing things up here.

Nice one Gav. The last one is key to the first three. I'd be interested to know what you have in mind to change that? 

[fatdoc]

dont  we all... as not in Gav's case... like all of us

i hvae no idea.. hard hard to do... and I dont even work for myself..

[SA Chris]

Encourage everyone to use orange coloured writing in their end of year review, and not yellow, so people can actually read it.

[Fiend]

I fully support SAChris in the realisation of that important goal!!

[ghisino]

It may be a busy year so i'll be relatively conservative in my aims.
As for 2014, i have several aims and don't think i'll have good occasions on each of them.

-8a boulder would be a dream. Open for ideas, i need projects
(in fontainebleau)! the only one i've been trying is Neverland, and i don't want to try something where i can easily get injuried (no bad falls, no crazy crimping). The only proper 7c+ i've done is Hypothèse (=foot-on campusing with tiny, shitty feet)

-sport: i'd like to do one route out of the following list:
Couleur du vent, l'ami de tout le monde/ Choucas, Elixir de violence/ Le Bidule, Octocratie (Saussois)/ Witchcraft (FJ)/  Hilti Blues, Dis Moi... (St Léger) / Le Traité... (Grotte du Brotsch) / A couple 8's whose name i can't remember (Berdorf)

-trad (crack climbs): same as for sport.
Mustang, The Doors (Cadarese) / Pure Finger, 7b roof (name?) (Annot) / something in Orco, but what?

-MP: no real aims other than having a good time. Oh maybe one: redpointing Alix Punk de Vergons (Verdon)

Open to suggestions. Taking on more people just dose not work as their ambitions then need to be met by the business, unless you hire unambitious people who then need more management, catch 22.

I do enjoy my work though so cant blame anyone else really.

Anyone know of a cure for sleep I waste around 50 hours a week doing that.

if you like crimping tiny holds and your shoulders are strong (which I'm guessing they are, see Hypothèse above), then Verdict at rempart is fine, with decent landing. not exactly a king line :D

[andybfreeman]

Back to the fold for me after not posting in at least last year's goals thread...

I am in the middle of my first season of periodised training so my goals are split by season

January/February

Send Tyranny in first week of 2 week Grampians trip
Tick some routes on Taipan. Aiming to quickly finish off the easier stuff I've already tried (Fist, Mr J) then get on Groovy and Venom at 28 and then Serpentine at 29

March through June
Season 2 of training

End of June/July
Trip to UK for little bro's wedding. Week of family holiday in Devon to allow me to get back to Anstey's and climb The Cider Soak
Trip to Font to share the delights of the forest with my girlfriend. probably going to be too warm for hard bouldering and training will be geared towards longer efforts so no real goals/pressure on trip. Would be nice to finish off a few things including Peter Pan but we'll see.
Climb at least one more 8th graded sport route in the UK. I've never climbed at Malham or anywhere in North Wales so Raindogs, Zoolook and Statement are the routes I have in mind but beyond the wedding and a week  in Devon my trip is not yet properly planned so where I get to climb is anyone's guess!

Rest of the year
I have my eye on a number of 30s and 31s locally to work towards including Evil at Coolum and the Don at the Pulpit

[Will Hunt]

Carry on getting on the trad routes I get psyched for.

Do a real first 7C.

Sort out shoulder/neck ballache.

Of fuck it, go on then. High Noon flash 

[Luke Owens]

Complete my Diamond Project in Summer.

Tick these three classic 7b+'s:
Grand Canyon
Oceon of Emotion
The Wall of Evening Light

Sport Climbing: Redpoint 7c and Onsight more 7a/7a+'s

Bouldering: Tick a 7B and do lot's of 7A's in the mountains.

On-sight an E4 and do more classic trad/mountain routes.

[Sasquatch]

Climbing - shifting back to chuffing this year after a 10 year hiatus.

[Doylo]

Bouldering - Enter the Dragon,Tremeirchion.
Sport- maybe my Dulas proj if it feels a bit easier and is dry.

Main goal is to buy a house with a garage so I can build my own board
