Your 2013 goals

- Moonlight Buttress (the whole thing this time dang it)
- RNWF Half Dome in a day (need a partner for this one. If anyone is interested hit me up!) - Maybe mid to late Sept.

-climb outside as much as possible
-find a consistent climbing partner
-more efficient at placing gear

Consistently stay on this beast:

Solo the Blitzen Ridge

The Black Dagger on the Diamond

Scenic Cruise in the Black Canyon

Any 5.11 at Lumpy (Those Lumpy 11s are freaking hard!)

The Naked Edge

Climb a route on 5 major formations at Lumpy Ridge in a day

Boulder any legit V7

The Ejector Seat at Shelf Road

Make it to Yosemite

Climb the Casual route in 9 hours car to car

Some of these are more realistic than others but it gives me something to strive towards.

Stay out of my orthopedic surgeons long enough that i can take him out of my favorites on my cell phone which means
- no more broken legs
- no more knee surgeries

I need to say I appreciate our relationship, i mess it up and you fix it, but we have to end this relationship cold turkey.....

Is that too much to ask for a goal for 2013?

move to Denver
get a decent job
find climbing partners
comfortable with 5.10 trad
12a sport
moonlight buttress
climb 3 days per week
if anyone in denver/boulder needs a partner let me know, im moving in with my girlfrind next month and dont know anybody in the area

Find a decent job, leave Ohio, and move somewhere nearer to good climbing, either in the Southeast or the West. Everything else is going to be minor.

It would also be nice to recover fully from my broken foot (I hear you, Chuck, surgery and recovery time sucks), climb more long routes and fewer sport projects, and see some new crags. Looking back on 2012, I did not go to one new place the entire year, which was my biggest disappointment.

Check out some new areas around Az.
Climb more in Sedona.
Get an FA on a sick-hard line.
Spend more time with the wifey.
Climb more at Cochise (including to the true summit of the Rockfellow Dome).
Send 5.12 trad.
Send a couple more 5.13 sport lines.
Not get injured.

To finally get rid of this damn golfer's elbow that I've had for 14 months.

If that happens, it would be awesome to climb Cap'm Pissgums and maybe make it up to the Black Canyon and/or Canyonlands at some point.

I took only one trip (long weekend) in 2012. Hoping for a few more than that in 2013, although with a baby coming in April I don't know if that will happen. If I do manage a few trips:

-Flash/OS 5.12
-Take my first climbing trip to the Black Hills
-Make it back to one of these areas: Joe's, SoIll, City of Rocks
-Run at least 3 half-marathons and 1 full.

Get a better job so I can afford a car (I live in Brooklyn, NY). I really think not having my own car is the biggest thing holding back my climbing. I'd be out every weekend during the season if I had my own wheels. Meanwhile, I'd estimate not having a car reduces my days on rock by over 50%.

Stay strong and fit
Climb ice every week all winter
Climb rock, lots of rock, and more rock all year
Climb OWs, lots and lots of OWs
Send "Coyne Crack" and "Sweden Ringle"

I'm not posting up my goals here. Instead I drew them up in a checklist form and put them on the wall in the kitchen.

I'll see the list every day, on my way to get a beer, or bacon, or brownies, or candy.... maybe I make some dietary goals too.
