Just gave it up ...

Tired of the BS

I'd give this year a 9. I got a lot of days in, and despite missing some goals I still sent harder than prior years. On the life front I have a new job and a baby!

10 - For the 2010 Adventure Race season - numerous 10top finishes in both solo and team events. Did my fist 24hr event and won $280.00 doing it. Met some new friends and learn a lot more navigational skills.

4 for the 2010 climbing season, but I did bolt my first climb so that was cool. My 10 season was in 2003 - not likely to see those days again.

A 10 all the way around for 2010! YES! It's training time!

I'll give it an 8. I was in the best shape I've been in about 6 years, and although I didn't get any personal bests (apart from bouldering), I did get a solid FA.

Training really hard right now, hoping to set a new personal best this spring on a 12d I'm really close on.

Though not climbing as hard as some of you folks, and 0 FA's. I'd still give this year a 10 as well. I've been able to climb at the Red weekly for most of the year, I'm climbing harder, and each of those days was spent with good friends. Hope everyone out there has a 2011 as good as or better than 2010. Thanks to all you developers out there for making this place awesome.

Climbing was a 10, but this summers weather really sucked, which is when I do my most climbing. Overall, probably the best year I have ever had. Climbing just felt easier, got a lot of bolting done, and the climbers that I got to spend a lot of time with are awesome, too many to list. Thanks all.

I wold give it a 10 for sure. I probably climbed less this season than I have in 5 years but I found a new job that is challenging and enoyable, gotten to travel a bit for work and play (no climbing), maintained an amazing relationship with someone who loves being at the red as much as I do, and when I do get to climb my fitness has not been compramised....yet. My only goal is to get more pitches in when I do get to climb during the real climbing season yet to come.

So as far as climbing? a 2..... I really laid off climbing this year to get other things in my life in order. I did spend a lot of time in the red but I was usually working or otherwise engaged. but after climbing a lot for the last 15 yrs I have no regrets laying off this yr. next yr, well...

Life? a total 10!! What can I say, I am pretty fuckin awsome.

Work and the company are running well, wife and I are both healthy with a mini-driskell on the way. What more could you ask for?
