If EU stays don't work out and you've got the time, Norway is flipping awesome if you haven't been.

Cent patates is eminently onsightable!Yeah I think I’d like to give it an onsight go. Would love another crack at Blockagé Violent too, hopefully I’ll be going better than I was 7 years ago!
Cent patates is a lot, lot easier than Blocage. I thought it was 7b but happy to take the tick given everything else at Ceuse is nails. The fact that CP gets the same grade as changement de look is a joke! I love it there, want to go back again this year.
Do a good job of helping wife recover from giving birth to our second daughter (any day now) sometime in March, and helping her get back to fitness. Do a good job of looking after eldest daughter at the same time, whilst not being a grumpy arse.
Had a really good year climbing wise. Next year I need to focus on having as much fun as possible and moving further along the (lone wolf<pad partier) scale. The following goal s are based on this:1) Make Fiend fall off a boulder due to giggling / well executed pisstaking2) Burn AndyF off on some arbitrary but pretty piece rock, however transitory the experience.3) Discover a perfect unclimbed offwidth (f**k realistic goals)4) Get some more regular bouldering partners, who are tolerable and cope with my random availablity.5) Feel on top of my 'to do' list, by climbing some of my arbitrary projects, completing my flights of fancy, and tilting at less windmills.
- get back to pre-pandemic perceived level of ability (might be purely psychological, but I feel like my general climbing level has dipped during the pandemic, so it will be nice to feel like I’m properly cranking again).
same same, but different- 5 off the never ending “why have you not done these yet?” list - 5 sec, one hand, front 3, BM2K outer edge. See Ryuichi for inspiration. (briefly tried last week and didn’t last a second on either hand!)- 5 eights- 5 new UK crags- 5 sessions on new to me 8B’s- 5 sessions on 8a+/< sport routes- 5 off the highball list- 5 FA’s (including shitty link ups) - 5 climbing trips (weekends away, holidays)- 5 Dragon/God level board projects- 5 training room PBs (hopefully set some benchmarks in the next few weeks)- 5 percent increase on my powerlifting lifts (benchmarks all set, but haven't really spent much time pushing them, so 5% might be too easy, we'll see).wildcard lifetime goal- do an 8A in the forest (close during my short trip in Oct 2021, hopefully I'll get another punt in 2022)and finally- get back to pre-pandemic perceived level of ability (might be purely psychological, but I feel like my general climbing level has dipped during the pandemic, so it will be nice to feel like I’m properly cranking again).
