I didn't bother last year but I feel like setting myself some targets might just give me the motivation I need.

Boulder V5
Get comfortable at E1
Grow a pair and shag Browns Eliminate and a few other E2s
Lead 6c+ clean and consistantly at Redpoint
Lead 6c on sport
Get a pass at Redpoint and shag 3 or more times a week
Weigh more than 14.5 stone
Manage 20 pull ups in one go
Go climbing abroad somewhere warm and sunny for a large part of the summer
Drink a lot more alcohol at the Annual Dinner this year and shag Little Chamonix with Mark the next day
Convince people that Snobs fridays are the new Snobs wednesdays of 2010...

Complete my degree.
Lots of classic Joe Brown routes. That man is a legend. (classics at Cromlech and Cloggy!)
Get on the slate.
Get to Pembroke.
Go to Gogarth.
More trips to Llandudno.
Earn a load of money for air rescue charities.
Help and encourage other people with their climbing.
Do some crazy 8+ pitch routes.
Have at least one epic.
Not be on a trip where someone ends up in hospital.

A few routes I have been losing sleep over:

Bouldering - Simple Simon, Clever Beaver, Jerry's Roof, Left Wall Traverse, Rock Atrocity, Not To Be Taken Away, Ziggy's traverse, Font, Jerry's Traverse(cratcliffe), Starley's Overhang.

Trad - 'The Corner', Cemetery Gates, Left Wall, Strapadictomy, Fern Hill, The Crank, Saul's Crack, Regent Street, The File, Lots more Cracks, some Slate.

Cracks - Beyond the Azimuth, Charas, Brown's Crack

Sport - Hot Fun Closing, Rubicon, Nomad, Axle Attack


New aims: Kitten Claws, Zeppelin, Space Cadet, The Pit Problem Low, Bus Stop, Pill Box Original, Demon Wall Roof, Captain Hook, Young American, The Press, Kudos, Kudos SS,


Good times:
Dorset trip, from start to finish, climbing, company, the weather and badgers with necklaces in the square and compass. So good.
Pembroke - So much climbing. Epic-ness of Space Cadet, mega steep.
Evening soloing @ Stanage with Byron on the first good weather day after exams.
Parisella's cave - All of the people who go there are legends.
Trowbarrow and Bowderstone - Best ticklist I've assembled on a trip!

Cemetery gates is an awesome route Jay, i'm gonna have to head back to it and lead the first pitch this time. The File has been on my to do list for a long time, I've had a look at it close up and looks a lot harder than VS 4c, some say E2, but I wouldn't go that far.

I'm gonna have to add The Rasp to my list of aims.

A trip to Higgar Tor has been on my list of things to do since the 2009 thread. In all honesty I think Im scared of it. Expect the File would be cake enough but the Rasp requires a wee bit of fitness!

A certian Paddy also maced it up like a **** considering he's been climbing 2 months if that was one of his aims.

Do a font 7b

Get some endurance!
Lead a redpoint 7a clean
Lead a sport 7a clean

Man up and push into the E-grades
Consolidate in the low E-grades

Headpoint an easy grit E5

Start running properly again
Run a sub 34min 10k

Be able to juggle 5 balls SOLID

That should be enough to be going on with
