Nice Marty. Send a pic...
Splater, that's a good joke, remembering something from 20 years ago.
But please, remind me of your name! And, how many bolts did I stick-clip?
Other than that, let's go back!

Susan, my daughters (who are in their late twenties) want me to take them up Snake Dike. You'd be welcome to join us.
Thankyou, John. Let's stay in touch!

I guess nobody believes in the Ten Commandments any more. I don't remember which one it
is but I have always strictly followed it:
Thou shalt not sprayeth before thou sendeth.

After almost twenty years I'm getting back in my aiders. First stop The Titan the week after New Years. Then The Black Canyon.

I'd like to climb Mt Whitney finally, it's been on my list since I first started climbing and I've just never gotten around to it in all these years. Also something on Russell while we're out there, and maybe Keeler Needle too if we're feeling strong.
Planning on spending several weeks in Colorado this summer. Hope to do something on the Diamond and check out many other classics areas I've never been to - Gunnison, Eldo, S Platte, ect.
And finally I'd like to do at least two bigwalls. Zion would be awesome, but I don't think I'll make it out there next year, so they'll probably have to be in Yosemite. Maybe Watkins and Zodiac...
If I get all that done it'd be an excellent year.

Reilly, I think there is some sort of corollary that if you set your goals low enough no one is going to pay attention whether you've done it or not.

Pretty modest really:
Get out to Josh a couple of times this season.
Take my 11 yr. old up her first multipitch: the Tree Route at Dome Rock.
Hit the Needles or do the Thunderbolt-Sill traverse with Cancer Boy.
Go back to the Purple Stones for the first time in 25 years.
If I do those, that'll be a very good year.

TICK LIST? Us 65+ guys don't need no stinkin "tick-list!"
I do have a few outdoor projects I'm looking forward to in the coming year.
First on my mind is "herding ST climber-cats" to another fun meeting at City of Rocks in late June.
I do need to get high and find some more desirable mineral specimens in Idaho's high mountains.
A multi-day Middle-Fork Salmon trip?
Perhaps a jaunt into my beloved Sawtooth Mtns?
and perhaps a little rock-climbing, some fishing, world adventure travel, island time, and then --------sigh------weed-pulling on our "ranchette."

Fritz, I'm running the main Salmon with some friends before the permit season starts and you're welcome on that. If I draw a middle Salmon permit, you're invited. City of Rocks and the Sawtooths sound good, too!

Rock climb at joshua tree..(good one, huh..).
Visit some crags in So. Calif. that I haven't been to ....
Make a trip to sedona
Climb at shuteye again this summer
Take a trip or two to red rocks
I'm good with just about anything;...I've climbed my ass off for 42 years;...I'm turning 60 this year, and I'm still alive....those are all good things;..very good things.....
I love to rock climb, I need the exercise, and I sort of got in this habit of climbing a couple days a week;...so I guess I just keep rolling with it. It's more about exploring, hanging with my homies, and having fun outside in cool places.......
Number one priority is my wife and children;...climbing is something I do when I am not doing family stuff.
Everyday I get up in a pretty damn good mood, ready for fun, happy to be alive, and very thankful for all my wonderful blessings......
Life is sweet;...2015 should be the best year ever;.(it's been mega-awesome every year of my life so far.......keep the ball rolling!)....
I am way fortunate, and I know it....

Gordo, you rock! I hope I can finally tie in with you sometime later this winter down JT-way.
My goal for the last of 2014 is this:
The humble way (I hope) up some big old butte way out there in the empty sandy dry places. Pretty far out there, pretty massive summit plateau, and I am most curious to see if there is sign of prior ascent.

Goal #1: Enjoy all of the below while spending enough time with wife and 5 month old future rope gun of a daughter:
1. Climb my age in a day on some selected routes while I still have my youth to help me (approx. 1800 ft of constant mid.10-mid.11 sporto nonsense with a few hours of approach from crag to crag)
2. Get "up north" i.e. the Karakoram, if only to recce.
3. Climb at least the three new lines I've been eyeing.
4. Explore at least that one crag that looks so tempting from afar.
5. Get in shape/mental state where planning for 2016 will be even more ludicrous.

Attend the supertopo indian creek thing (would be fun to climb with Burchey, Jim, Weston, moosedrool, Mike and other STers!)
Meet STers I have not met, make friends, continue climbing with my current partners.
Explore new places, hopefully climb new routes, push my climbing abilities, learn new things.
Free the new route I climbed on Bubbs Creek Wall.
#1 - NOT GET INJURED!
