foreign boulder probs: berezina, noir desire, eclipse (i am jonboy!)
trad routes: can't see that happening
sport routes: austrian oak, pump up the power, the groove (malham)
foreign sport: they're all the same...

british boulder probs:
BlockBuster and the sit start to Pedestal Arete, both at Caley. Any f7c anywhere, I'm tired of being the weakest person at the crag, and getting sand kicked in my face at Font.
foreign boulder probs:
Carnage-font. Some other things that I can't remember the names of at font, but I don't really get into projecting at font as I've only got a few goes on things before my elbows get too knackered, and there's so much class easy stuff that I haven't done.
trad routes:
It'd be nice to do at least one this year.
sport routes:
Predator and Magnetic at Malham. The Ripper at Kilnsey.
foreign sport:
Big goal this year is to spend more time abroad, so hopefully lots, but none in particular.

Boulder probs, UK - Try River of Life - Almost certainly out of my league, but looks ace and worth having a go. Barry Sheen - have nearly done it so might as well go the extra effort. Western Eyes - Too good not to do.
Trad routes/soloes UK - Shirley's Shining Temple - Have done the hard bit then bottled the top, t'would be nice to do the whole thing. Climb at some unvisited UK areas at the start of my big trip, lots of ideas but no definates so far.
Boulder probs, abroad - Visit Spanish sandstone areas and Swiss granite on big trip
Sport routes UK - Get ball rolling on the Peak re-bolting project and hopefully re-climb a few forgotten classics in the process. The Orge at Chee Tor would be good.
Routes abroad (any genre) - All of them. Especially the steep ones with tufa on
New route/prob put up - Various boulder probs round the peak, including a new circuit worth of stuff. The mutipitch cave thing at Thor's cave. Various grit new route ideas in the E3-E6 range need getting round to. If only there was more time and less rain!

see my winter ticks.
to climb an 8a bloc would be nice.
raindogs and magnetic in the spring would make me happy.

go to font at easter holidays and magic wood in the summer, make it out to squarmish.

Stubbs: Sean's problem at stoney? ???

UK boulders: mainly new stuff, but also would like to do: Great White (curbar) - tried quite a bit already, Brad Pit - must get better first, and The Exorcist (almscliff) - ditto.

Also would like to end my battle with Quintessence @ stoney - but am to embarrassed to admit it.

Foreign: Wales (read Parisellas) over summer. Not going to have chance to leave the shores though as I've got a busy year.

Sport: Possibly some Tor action over summer.

Trad: Again, possibly some easier stuff over summer

New Problems: Lots of projects, mostly Peak based, mostly too hard for me.

Training: Repeat the legendary "Hard Yellow" upstairs. 1 ascent in about 100 sessions.
1-5-9 on a proper board (not Leeds)
Any V8 in the Pen.

As I've got hardly anything done from last year's ticklist I suppose it's the same as that, minus Blockbuster.  At the minute the goal I'd most like to achieve is keep my fingers injury free.  For the last few years now everytime I seem to getting slightly stronger I tweak one of my fingers, which niggles for a few months whilst I try to semi rest.  I'm resting it properly now for a couple of weeks, then I want to get strong for Font in March.  Hmm, goals in font: Holey Moley, jet set, might try berrezina although it's not really my style, try to get more mileage than we normally managed too.

I'd like to get good at sports climbing this year too (well climbing fluidly when I try it), and invest some proper time into it, including sorting my head out.

Score the first competitive goal at Wembley stadium.
Discover a unifying theory of Quantum Gravity.
Create an elixir poultis of immortality from the bones of Saddam Hussein.
Dance the fandango on Tony Blairs face.

That should keep me going until June...

Bouldering:  Brad Pit, Lowrider, and bloody Ram Air.  I'd also like to do Hats for Clowns at eatswood and finish up the crack.  Oh and Percy 97. Obviously.

Routes:  I'd be pretty psyched if I got up Mark of the Beast in the summer.  I was put off last year by Birkett shitting his pants on it.

No no, at the other place.  But would be up for a trip to stoney and a swing around in the cave!

Would also like to do a V3 on your board, but I think I might need a few more years before that.....

Laundry room V3... for "when V1 isn't that hard anymore, and V0 is approaching a rest" ;)

Routes : PUTP, Zeke. I should include Freemonster really, but is such a shitty pile of tottering choss I am not sure that I will. But I dont like to fail so spectacularly at anything and leave it unclimbed. That smacks of having given up. Plus, they say you should work your weaknesses, and its everything I cant do.

Boulders (UK) : Tsunami sitting. Having fallen off the last move I am sooooooooo keen to get back to this. Brad Pitt (hmm), Storm, Zaff scotchlass (sp?) and Walk on By.

Boulders (abroad) : La Boule, Dreamtime stand, Kirk Windtain, Franks Wild Years, Serre Moi Forte. Never ending story pt2, Octopussy (dont know if i will make it to that crag this year to be honest).

Plans for 2007:

7b+ would be nice- Keel?
that said, 7b would be nice, as would more 7a+s...

The Nose, Ben's Groove, Demon Wall Roof, Stall, Tierdrop... all on "ze list" which is in my head and really should be on paper, as it's much larger than that.

Sport 7b maybe? If not, then definitely get Smooth Torquer ticked. If not, the Directissima?  :please:

Might try some trad... I doubt it.

V4 upstairs at (woz)'s...

And casually dispatch a nemesis arete in Finland, 1st go...
