regular route on half dome in 8 hrs
lost arrow spire high line

how about you?

My goal is to grip tighter.

I don't think I had climbing goals this past year. But I did a lot of climbing and had a ton of fun.

So I guess my goals this year are to:
-help secure climbing in the PMRP
-not get hurt
-keep getting stronger, mentally and physically
-keep climbing tons of routes of different types and quality

Not get hurt is a good one. I didn't injure any ankles in 2005, but I did in 2002, 2003, and 2004. Guess that means I'm due for one.

Climbing Goal for '06: visit at least 5 new climbing areas (pref: Frenchman Coulee, Lion's Head, Acadia/Otter Cliffs, Hueco, and somewhere in the Philippines).

Acadia/otter cliffs isnt as good as it looks in the pics you see. I spent a few days up that way this past spring and wasnt impressed at all. I think I saw one good toprope route, but acadia is an awesome park just to visit. I would go back there in a heart beat just dont make it a climbing trip. or you will be disappointed

free climb the Original Roue on the Rainbow Wall in Red Rocks
free climb the Regular Route on the NW face of Half Dome

Climb, drill, climb, drill, climb... and then climb and drill some more...

squeezewhatever...frenchman coulee is worth visiting only if you are in the area for something else. like the north cascades or something.
