No particular order of importance, but the causal relationships between these items will probably dictate the chronological order in which they are achieved - could be an all or nothing year.
  • sort out gout/arthritis/extreme-toe-pain vs decent climbing footwear problem
  • loose at least a stone in weight (13st 8lb ish now)
  • boulder harder than 7b+ for the first time
  • stay motivated
  • keep up deadhang regime
  • regain six-pack abs
  • do some front lever pull ups
  • start training for planche press ups (will take longer than a year to get there)
  • have a second year free of significant finger injuries
  • sustain very happy relationship

2. Get a van.
3. Climb loads all over the country (bouldering and trad).
4. Go to Font.
5. Go climbing with mates more.
6. Gorilla\Extended Warfare.
7. Get back onto grit trad at a grade above VS and stop being scared witless about it all (just scared will do).
8. Avalanche Wall (Curbar) without falling off or slumping onto gear.
9. Climb on Slate.
10. Climb abroad somewhere other than Font.

Some of that is even possible I reckon...  ;)

Wahay, congratulations! Sounds like you got yourself a convoy! I remember having a 10-year-old's crush on Ali McGraw when I saw this.

Count me in for some of those, butters.

Better stop hillwalking and get TRAINING if you're keen for 1 and 6 though!  ;)
