Let's hope this devolves into solid spray.
-Positive Vibrations - keep putting it off....
-Coarse 'n Buggy - one of those routes I keep making excuses not to do
-High Plains Drifter - fell off last move last season, am fat this season. C'est la vie.
Big to little. Likely I'll do none of them. See you next year...

I'm start in' a three year sabbatical this spring and plan on catching up on playing in general and climbing in particular. Goals 1) a couple of weeks in the Valley in the Spring, 2) climbing in the Cascades this Summer, 3) a couple of weeks in the Valley this Fall
Haven't done that in 35 years. Woohoo!

Keep getting out of bed, did I say that?

Everything else is bonus, but my main goals for 2015 are to get on and do
Open Book
Everything slab on the Weeping wall
Take Patty on White Maiden
Oh, and Edward's Crack in Vedauwoo with Patty (I'll probably have to enlist Jaybro for moral support on this one)

Get out and start climbing and hiking again.
Anything more than that will be a bonus at this point, though I hope to be ok to climb in the Gunks by spring, and hopefully some easy ice climbs come mid-January/February.

I also would like to lead some similar 10d - ish routes.
I have tried 10 years after & hung on it.
So many injuries for years now, but feeling healthy for now.
Maybe I will finally lead Oz
K-Man, you lead me up that about 20 years ago, when I met you in Tuolumne.
Remember?

Well, I'm currently at 51 different El Cap routes. I turned 55 in September.
If I can get in four new/different El Cap routes this year, I can 'climb my age'.
Oh, geez - might need an extension on my birthday til after the fall season finishes!

Hey - my husband and I are going to Kili in late August, then a photo safari in South Africa. It is a late 25th anniversary present.
I still want to finish Infinite Bliss, but I need a super strong partner to do it with. I know how the route goes now and have experience rapping it in the dark.
Somehow the list keeps getting longer, especially when it takes more than one whack to get a route done.

Didn't get up Cathedral Peak or Snake Dike this year. So that's a tick list for the upcoming year.
We'll be spending a lot more time in Moab so more things there. (Unfortunately the Creek is pretty much out for me because of a foot problem that just won't work in sustained cracks.)
More multi pitch.
I'm actually focused more on MTB lately than climbing.

Susan, my daughters (who are in their late twenties) want me to take them up Snake Dike. You'd be welcome to join us.
Of course, I need to get back into decent cardio shape by summer, but they're already on me.
I want to renew my acquaintance with aid climbing enough to do a few Valley obscurities that remain off the beaten path, paticularly the Firefall Face. We shall see. . .

Modest plans. Hardest thing might be leading all the 5.10's at the crag in my yard in one day.
1. Cletus 5.10a
2. Calvin & Hobbes 5.10b
3. Squirt Theory 5.10d
4. Shaking Hands With The Governor 5.10b
5. Dazed & Confused 5.10c
6. Hercules 5.10b
7. Dead Low Tide 5.10b
8. Gloater 5.10d
9. Never Give Up 5.10c
10. Never Surrender 5.10b
11. Pete & Ted's Excellent Adventure (short) 5.10a
12. Karma Mechanic 5.10a
13. Critter Corner (full) 5.10b
In terms of away from home, that would be a strong 4 day trip to Red Rocks in May, introduce some buddies to the joys of Darrington in Washington over the summer, possibly a new route in the Cascades or anything at all in the Sawtooths, and a fall trip to City of Rocks.
It could all be simply boiled down to "work a little less, climb a little more"

John, If you can't find partners to climb with you off the beaten path, I'm game. I have some Valley obscurities on my list, too.
Sweet plan, Steve! Please do trip report!
