7A either in Scotland (probably Rock around the Block in Lednock) or the County

What about: Romancing The Stone, Razor's Edge, The Dude, Gale Force, Black Orc, Powerhouse, Autumn Arete, Le Toit Du Col Du Mouton, Spanking The Monkey, White Matter, Retroclaim, Stretch Armstrong, Bowfinger, Slap Happy or Mugsy??

[SA Chris]

Call me a heretic, but I think Porty Prow is a bit log. Plenty of better probs about. find a good 7a clise to home if you want to seige something, Le Toit Du Col Du Mouton might be a good choice from fiend's list.

[PipeSmoke]

Aiming to get my first f7a+ boulder this year and keep injuries and niggles to minimum.
Anyone know of any spot on the grade and brilliant boulders to suggest?

[rodma]

Accept that since I am getting on a bit, that my grip will never be the same as it used to be and try to remember this if/when i get some form back that I inevitably have to stop due to discomfort of some sort.

get strong again, last year was bad, this will involve staying away from local comps because they are way too bad on my hands (I only have one comp setting, which is pull too hard)

Deadlift 150Kg

pick and succeed on a project at either a resonable grade, or that is completely beyond my current skillset.

From last year's list, get euro-lean

stop being mean to younger climbers down the wall, even if they are grumpy-uptight-selfdelusional-posing-arseholes.

[Fiend]

Portlethen Prow is one of the very few good lines there, it is well worth doing. 90% of the rest can log off tho

[Jack.G]

I dont think the Prow is log but it is not that good either, def on the edge of being 6b+, Slap and Tickle is much better value for a classic Porty tick.

[Fiend]

Slap and Tickle is probably harder....and the other good line there

[leeroy]

Find some new routes in the Peak
8b Sport
7C+/8A
Try and concentrate at Uni
Actually get stronger instead of whining about being weak (ties in to 2 and 3)
Leave the top roping to hard/new things
Wales/Northumberland/Mournes - New places.

[Jack.G]

Sorry Pebblespanker, should have been dishing out motivation rather than dissing the project choice.

I had the Prow on my hit list for years before I finally did, difficult to avoid looking at it when at Porty and a local must do. Took me alot of working and was my first 6c. A couple of really good moves that are so much better when they come together. It is inspiring and totally worth it, go get it !!!

Become even more epically self-deluding, grumpy and uptight. Take my posing game to the next level.
Wouldn't want you to have too easy a time hitting your niceness goal rodma 

[TobyD]

Headpoint a good mountain trad route such as a Birkett route in the Lakes - I did Dawes Rides a Shovelhead a few years back which was amazing and would like to do something similar.  I have tried If Six Was Nine briefly and would be keen to get back on that partners/weather permitting.

I would like to climb another big wall next year (Kyrgystan) so I would also like to do some bigger routes (Dolomites, Swiss Granite) in preparation if I can find the time!

i'm up for both of these John!

Being able to actually put a pair of climbing shoes on is the target - along with being able to stand up onto my toes. I can currently get one shoe on (the left) but the psoriasis under the nails on my right foot is still there so it's no go for that side. Arthritis around the balls of both feet is still keeping me fairly flat-footed but this has been slowly improving this last year and I have started riding again.

Fucking enormous tick on all fronts so far :D Three weeks in to the new job and regular wall sessions are well under way. Ticked the super secret project today, been getting out and doing hardish stuff pretty much every weekend. Booked up for 9 days in font at the start of easter.

Commence stage 2.

[i_a_coops]

Spill the beans, what was the super secret project? If it doesn't seep then it must be the only climbable bits of rock around atm!

[kelvin]

Loose some more weight - 75kg  (78/79kg lately)
Generally not forget to just enjoy the mountains - scramble, wildcamp etc.

Dries pretty quickly as it's south facing and pretty sheltered from the worst of the weather. Get in there for a quick repeat

p.s. Don't suppose you know Jack Folland? Im living with him this year.

[i_a_coops]

Cheers, I'll get on it as soon as my knee is less injured!

(Don't think I do know him, but I'm terrible with names.)

Set myself a target of 7a boulder last year but fell short and only managed one 6c and a handful of 6a, 6b's. Work got in the way as did running (did a lot last year) so just need to get the focus back this year and pick something to aim for.

I'm not great at steep problems requiring lots of shoulder strength (as i've dislocated them far too many times) so something fingery or technical, or both, would be great. any suggestions for the peak? live in Hathersage so no excuses on not being able to lay siege on something once the weather picks up.

[Sloper]

Get down to 12st 10 (cues billious laughter from parts of Sheffield)
Climb more on the grit and cheshire Sandstone.
Have a good session in Font in July / August.
Work less.

may I suggest Dry Wit in a Wet Country over on RHS, technical 7A with a good height on it you're bound to remember (if it's your first you're best making it a good one)

[SA Chris]

Worth asking elsewhere? In fact I'm a sure similar quesation has been asked before!

Looks good, thanks, can get there from home fairly quickly too on an evening. Judging from a quick photo i've found too it looks ideal for my style, finger strength and good footwork i am guessing up to the crack
