Right guys, it's the start of the new year and I was wondering if any of you have any climbing goals for next year. I've come back from my holiday slightly older, heavier and weaker than when I left but here goes...

Buy a 3 month pass to one of the climbing walls in Birmingham.

Remember how to shag.

Boulder 6c, lead 7a and various climbs outside.

Climbs to do outside off the top of my head: The Sloth, Commander Energy, Safety Net, Left Wall, Cemetry Gates...the list goes on.

Be better than Gareth.

A tech 5 ice pitch,

A 7 in font,

The Zone of Totality, the Overlap, George's crack (an "ultra classic" V5 roof crack out the back of glan dena)

Me and Rosie nearly headed over to angel's share on new years day because it looked so do-able, but in the end we went to look at the groove instead, unfortunately we forgot our chalk and Rosie had the wrong shoes with her.

Become "unfestive" i.e. lose the stone i put on for training purposes...

Nooooes Mark! Redpoint is where all the cool kids hang. Commit there instead!

The Stoat wasn't by a Stoat, as far as I'm aware it will be the first UBMC ascent!

And yea, Angels Share, if I break a leg on that then you're liable Tom, given that it was your DVD!

Boulder V5
Lead E1 and HVS confidently and push on E2.

o ye and tear up thailands Deep Water soloing scene in the summer if we actually go!!!

shag in snow and ice.
Have fun.

v8 indoors
work on climbing smoothly, sort out my feet+style
get a bit stronger+flexible
Run back from climbing at least twice a week
dyno 230cm
learn lock-ofs, get to 30 pullups
keep having fun

get on the ropes a bit to sort out my endurance, top rope a 7b if there are any
low grade leading more, so i can learn how not to back-clip before I do anything harder.


Outdoors : actually go climbing outdoors

Bully people until they boulder more.

Pigs ear. That's it. Will require much training.
And get Samuel a job.

Consolidate on VS climbs outdoors / shag fun climbs outdoors!
Get back into doing some long distance running.

Finish this rubbish degree
Live in selly oak next year but avoid paying counsel tax
Find work either at maltloaf's place or Big Johns (I don't like kebab land and you have to draw the line somewhere)
Find a use for the 70 chalk bags I have collected over the last 2 christmases
Drink one of every kind of beer and keep each bottle
Find more free flapjacks in the Medschool vending machines
Convince Alek to cook something other than chicken n rice
shag another sketchy HVS 4C and live to tell the tale
Figure out who is the worst at climbing, Gareth or Mark
Do a one arm pull up on Shaggy's moon fingerboard

that last one might a tiny little bit out of my reach, but always aim high, you never know
