Not being funny Pete but aren't those winter objectives going to require the equivalent of F8a on-sighting fitness? Even if you're a dead good winter climber, I can't imagine you can trad-shuffle your way up steep XI?! Still, could be a long winter I suppose...

You're seriosuly overestimating how physically hard grade XI really is if you think it translates to french 8a onsighting fitness. Of course, it doesn't translate very well, but you're overestimating by at least 3 french grades.
