Inspired by the 2012 highlights thread.

What are your climbing-related goals / resolutions for 2013? Specific or general.

I am sure other's will have much harder (better ?) goals, but mine is a tick list of 12 5.12 routes that kicked my ass in 2012 that i think i should have been able to send, also, in august/september will be biking from my house in SLC down to Maple canyon for an 8 day climbing trip (roughly 240 miles round trip)

Climbing related:
-Lose 30 pounds
-Start leading 5.10 trad
-Get better at ice climbing
-Get out at least once a week
-Learn to aid

Goals:
1. Get better at bouldering/sport climbing
2. Work weaknesses: Crimps, off-width, splitters
3. Stay inspired, motivated, have fun
4. Hit Potrero Chico for a couple weeks, then back to flagstaff-climb at the waterfall a lot, save $ and go to yosemite early!
- El Cap.

-do a bigwall
-boulder at least one legit V7
-climb at least one solid 5.12
-summit at least one 14k ft peak
-visit at least 3 climbing destinations that I've never been to
-no injuries

A sort of ambitious list, but I think doable. I'm guessing the 5.12 will be the hardest goal since I'm not very good at dedicating time to projecting routes, and I doubt I'll get strong enough to do a 5.12 without working it a bunch.

Goals:

- Climb outside a lot more AKA don't get injured
- Send a legitimate V9

-The Nose
-RNWF Half Dome
-Positive Vibrations, Incredible Hulk, Sierras
-Much exploring in the Sierras
-Send 5.12, hopefully trad
-Stay in shape and psyched
-Adventuring with good friends

2013 is going to be a big year for me a few things on the hit list.

-Getting married to the love of my life and climbing partner
-going to Greece, Climbing and Tourist stuff
-Climbing two more of the 50 classics, Wolf's Head and Pingora
-Maybe Devil's Tower
-Hopefully Climbing trip to City of Rocks and Mapple Canyon
-Hop on the sharp end in Eldo for some classic 9's and maybe 10's

20-5.13s

Extend my streak of 8 years with 100+ days of climbing for another year, write a book on race relations in WWII, take a cool summer trip, keep those mortgage payments coming, and not alienate my spouse.
