I'd like to get out of debt, or maybe get more in debt and buy a house.
I haven't got a fully developed ticklist but here's a few. Onsight is the goal, redpoint if I fall.
-Desert Gold in Red Rocks this Feb
-As many 12 to 13- cracks as I can get to in Indian Creek
-Moonlight Buttress in Zion, free.
-Work Anaconda in Lumpy Ridge
-Work Sphinx Crack
-Squat, Trip Master Monkey, Whipping Post, and Lucille in Vedauwoo
-More trespassing
-Get gassed at least once protesting W
-Tradklime and I returning to Astroman with 4 fully functioning achilles
Pretty Lofty, but I didn't mention getting a girlfriend or some other impossible task.

In reply to: I am just a newbie that would like to learn to lead climb and get my lame a$$ out on some real rock. I shouldn't even be allowed to post on this thing yet. I now feel small and insignifigant. The internet is a cruel world. :cry:
we're all Noobs and none of the things on this list are significant to anybody except the person doing them. You're goal to learn lead climbing is awesome - go for it, and don't let us posers intimidate you! :D

In reply to: In reply to: people from the front range have small testicles in proportion to their egos and yes, i don't mind generalizing. in fact, i prefer it. That's wicked funny!! And somewhat true!! Although I'd say you generally have to move north of where I am to find the epicenter of this kind'a thing...to say BOULDER....most of us in Denver spend all our time in the gym and are to scared to climb outside....ever.
Oh man, I hope not. I'm moving there (denver) in May. So.. like.. where do I find the real climbers?

My goal is to climb solid 5.10's this year. And to boulder more often because I like the power of bouldering. I would also like to try and make it out west to climb sometime and not stay stuck in the midwest :(

take a 40 foot fall
get Vitamin H after a year of working it
climb in Banff, Maple Canyon, Red Rocks.
meet as many cool people as I did last year.
put up a classic route that when I walk up to it years later is is covered in chalk and the anchor bolts have been worn out due to sessioning.

Goals? I'm too busy sending sick routes to consider my goals! But, since you asked:
Climb every ice route in Hyalite Canyon- in a day.
Solo traverse of all the 8000m Himalayan peaks.
Send sick new routes in Yosemite with DON! (This is pending, however, as I have yet to secure an adequate number of snacks for DON!)
Climb Cerro Torre with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back (basically, I will be using my free hand and an ice ax clenched between my teeth to climb)
Downclimb Devils Tower.
Boulder V1
There you have it- I'll keep everyone posted.

My wife and I just had our first baby, which is totally awesome, but I'll be somewhat limited on climbing time this year.
HOWEVER,
Realistically, I still intend to increase my redpoint and onsight levels at least a half a grade.

Quite the tick-list. My goal is to watch you do a least one of these routes. Let me know when you are going to Sphinx.

Part of the process of improvement is biting off more than I can chew. I'll let you know. I'm climbing a full # grade harder this year than ever, and I only climbed half the year. I feel stronger, more dedicated, and way more pissed off (in a good way), I'm hoping for some success. I also expect some dramatic failures.
I'm honestly not that worried about Sphinx, it'll kick my ass, then later, it'll hand me my ass, beat my ass, etc and eventually my ass will figure out the moves. It's no big deal, it's just a pitch. Same with hard cracks at the creek. Moonlight Buttress free is more of a lifetime goal, I may give it my first try this fall.
I'm going to go play with Brothers in Arms, bishops crack, the Bad JU-JU roof before the march-july bird ban, if you are interested. Warning, it won't be onsight climbing, I'll be working them like your mother on a friday night..err .. I mean sport climber.

Pass my qualifying exams.
Kill all brain cells over the following weekend.
Start climbing for real.
Climb out west for a few weeks (I'm tired of these VA foothills...)
Lead what I can TR now.
Boulder what I can't boulder now.
Build a trad rack and learn how to use it!

Been there and done that (except for JU_JU).
Might as well throw in "the Far Reaches 12b/c and Dr. Dream 12c/d" while you are at it. Bishop's Crack is a very thin crack with an almost face climbing crux. Brothers in Arms is a right arching thin fingers crack with very little for the feet.
All of these climbs were yo-yo/seige on the FA. Long before sport climbing came into the picture.

Keep em coming, I know there is a ton of stuff like that in the South Platte, but I can't hardly get to colorado using the 3 guidebooks I've seen for the area.
Anything 11+ to 13- that goes on gear in that area interests me greatly.
Thanks
