Happy New Year. Another year, another goal.. Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

What's your goal for 2010?

My goal is to get back on my feet (literally). After two foot surgeries in November, I am now slowly recovering and hoping to be back to climbing in February and opening my outdoor season with a trip to EPC in March.

Good luck!!! Don't think I could ever cope with a serious injury. Ever since I got serious about climbing and fitness in general rest is something I just can't do without losing it.

For 2010 I just wanna complete the highest graded climb in my climbing hall and go outdoor climbing at least twice a month.

Majid, I look forward to your book! My climbing goals are to climb harder, at least a grade, and to improve my trad skills. And to have fun, a lot of fun!

Happy New Year to all you RCers!

I don't believe it. You said that you would post that trip report months ago. Then there was the whole thumb injury thing. I'll be surprised if it gets published in 2010. Happy new year by the way! Wink

Go watch 'Onsight' climbing movie... Was a real eye opener Smile

My goals arent to climb harder but to be able to onsight 5.11+ anywhere on any type of gear, so two letters harder than I am currently but have climbed harder r/p's in the past.

Mutipitch. Baby steps at Rumney last year but I wimped out taking the lead. EPC in January, see if I'm braver. Getting to a certain level before the recommended surgery on both my feet, before hand arthritis worse, before old age (now 56) catches up, because you can't 'come back' from nothing.

Rather than set numerical grade goals like I have in the past, my goal for this year is simple. I just want to get better at project climbing, for sport, bouldering, and even trad.

Also hope to get to some new areas: Canada, the Adirondacks, and Looking Glass, NC.
