What are your climbing goals for 2020?

Pink route on the lead wall!  Epic, bruh!

To continue the roll from 2019! And to not get injured..

- Visit the Creek and tick all the .75-1 sized classics.

I hope you have a lot of vacation.  There are sooo many that are soooo good.

Have fun, and I hope you'll be generous enough to be a rope gun occasionally for all the guys who will be buzzing around you hoping for a top-rope on their project.  :)

Cheers!

GO

Um... wow.

Get in more climbing trips: Tahquitz, Joshua Tree, Red Rock
Lead more trad
Practice crack climbing and roof climbing to bring them more in line with my face climbing grades
Send 100 pitches
Climb Mt Shasta via Avalanche Gulch
Climb Mt Whitney via East Buttress (may get pushed to 2021...)

A few bolt suggestions:

"Double Cross" in Jtree needs a bolt down low as well as "The Line" at Lovers Leap.

If you make it to Tahquitz, please add a bolt on Dave's Deviation to save the little tree.

Let me know if you need a bolting partner for Cerro Torre's Compressor Route.  I realize the compressor would take more than one person to carry.

2019: 100+ outdoor routes - actually accomplished one! :)
2020: who knows?

My goals are to climb my first established V6, put up 5-10 new problems at my local boulders, and for a twist climb Wham Ridge on Vestal Peak.

Climb more and more meaningfully than I did in 2019.

Hahahah it’s so true.  Remember the guy that was looking for a girlfriend who could rope gun 0.75 cracks a few weeks ago?

-Get into 5.10 trad
-Start projecting sport routes so I can do more 5.11 face.
-start aid climbing and get up some easier big walls in the fall. Hit me up in you live near Sacramento and want me to belay you on aid routes! I could use a mentor. 
-I had 46 days climbing in 2019. With some time off from work planned in 2020, my goal is 90 days of climbing. 

Honestly, I will need to be stepping up fitness and strength in general, to fight off arthritis as long as possible. Number one, by far.

But? My new gym will open, hopefully not too much into next year. It would be great to attempt something, anything, on every rope already hung, to match the same thing the day they closed.

I'm 63 in January. Maybe I'll see if I can meet 63 different peeps for a belay this year! Dunno, yet.

There will definitely be lots of climbing trips, though, especially to City! And perhaps Smith Rock in the spring, depending when some MP friends not yet met are in that area.

Probably some more ice this winter, maybe, and, it looks like there may be a weather opening for rock locally just after New Year's! Crazy!!

Best, Helen

5.13

Blade Ridge in Tasmania.

2020:
Big beautiful lines in the Sierra. 

2019:
-Vertical mile of (good) FAs. Finished today.

2020:
-Put up 5 new wall routes.
-Refocus on repeating routes in order to double my 5.13 ticks.

• 10sec hang on 10mm edge
• 5.13b

Do you mean 10 sec hang on a 10mm with one arm/hand?  Shocking if you can climb 13a and not do that on 2 hands!

- Get into a regimented training regimen over the winter
- Become a solid V4 boulderer (Personal definition: send most v4s in a couple hours of work)
- Get more comfortable at 5.10 trad, especially multi-pitch. 
- Send a 12a sport climb
- No major injuries
