That climb is AWESOME!!!!

Yo NickStayner, I'd possibly care to get up for some of those routes... I'm into the Sierra routes, as well as some other fairly lofty goals (see my previous post in this thread). Other stuff I'm interested in: any Tahquitz/Suicide routes from 5.whatever-5.12 and Needles routes. Let me know, PM or whatever.

1) Gannet Peak, via Gooseneck Glacier route
2) Grand Teton, via Beyer East Face
3) Skull, Poland Hill, Vedauwoo
4) Climb and Punishment, Reynold's Hill, Vedauwoo
5) Longs Peak via any technical route (preferably the Casual Route)

7) Durrance Crack, Devils Tower
8) Y Couloir - Ypsilon Peak
9) Dragon's Tail Couloir, Flattop Mountain
10) Syke's Sickle, Spearhead, RMNP

I might jog down to Boulder to try the Oomph Slot as well, but Boulder's a long way to go when I can feel sick in my own backyard.

oh so jealous of you all! I have not climbed anything since the summer. No Ice or Rock. Got a little skiing in. Hopefully another month or so of garbage will get me back on the rock at least and maybe some early spring snow climbs.
I would like to get back east to climb again in the gunks and up in NH. Maybe this summer.

Ryan, et al.:
If you go to Cochamo, go prepared to climb "Bienvenidos A Mi Insomnio." Camp Farm is 6 pitches of "kind of fun", while "Bienvenidos a Mi Insomnio" falls more into the Global Classic category. Three thousand feet of mostly 5.10 climbing on beautiful granite. With a couple of 5.11 crux traverses that you might be able to tension through if you need to. Stellar by any measure and usually done in a day. Cheers.

Yah Vince, that was the route everybody has been raving about...Camp Farm was the first one that came to mind. Edited out though, since I won't likely be there until Jan 2010.

The 5.11 variation to Endgame - Cochise Stronghold 3. More Sand than Stone - Tooth Rock 4. Jabberwockie - Cochise Stronghold 5. My first 12a trad (Shotgun at the forks or Hanging Judge at Winslow) 6. Earth Angel - Sedona In California: EBGB's - JTree Figures on a Landscape - JTree Regular NW Route on HalfDome (if Venezeula doesn't happen) The Nose (if Venezuela doesn't happen) This topic should be bumped back to life in a few months to remind everyone of their goals.

Wow, I'm on my way! #1 and #2 are done. Yosemite won't happen this year so those are off the list. That leaves me with 6 routes. Keep bringing this topic back to life once in a while. We all need to stay on track!

Hey timmamok, you got any beta on Wham Ridge? I've wanted to get on that thing for years.

New England Sport: 1. redpoint at least these (6) routes at Waimea- Lauau, Silver Surfer, Technosurfing, Restless Native, Whip Tide, Tsunami. 2. redpoint at least (4) other bolt-ups of similar grade and classic quality elsewhere in NE.
Trad: redpoint Children's Crusade Direct, Lights in the Forest, & The Prow.
Doesn't seem like much but this list repesents a lot of weekends for one year.

I love these lists.

Pervertical Sanctuary & Casual Route (the Diamond)
Generic Crack & Supercrack (Indian Creek)
Frogland (Red Rocks)
Triassic Sands (Red Rocks)
Dreams Of Wild Turkeys (Red Rocks)
Lucky Streaks (Tuolumne)
3rd pillar of Dana (Tuolumne)
Fine Jade or Castleton Tower (Moab)
Royal Arches (Yosemite)
Baboquivari (Southern AZ)

Hey, pretty cool someone wants to do the odyssey in AZ, that is a true hassle... been on the 1st 3 pitches... the supes is sketchy & old school. I'm gonna go back as soon as the memories of last time fade enough.

Thanks, Tony. The Yorkshire Ripper is one of those climbs that I want to forget about, yet, it haunts me. I completed the crux moves but backed away from completing it - too damn scary for me. I haven't been climbing too much due to the arrival of my son, certainly not enough to take on The Yorkshire Ripper, however, when the time comes(and I know it will), I will certainly have you belay me. I sure as hell wouldn't ask anyone to lead it...

By the way, awesome tick list.
