Summer 2011 Goals revisited

Some yes, some no.  Need to climb more.  Headed to the big stuff again this spring.


1. The North Face of the Grand.
I will be there in Aug for a week or two working and climbing.  This route will go down, plus hopefully a whole lot more:)    Climbed 80+% of this route this august.  Ran out of daylight, climbed to slow, woke up late, first 2K of climbing harder then thought.Blah Blah Blah.....ugh

2.The Diamond.
The East Face of Longs Peak in CO.  My old Climbing Partner and I will be there the end of July.  Not sure what route, what grade, but it will be HIGH and hard.   My partner went to Europe to see a girl. how can you blame him?!?!

3. Comfortably leading sport routes into the mid 11's   didn't happen.  Cant even remember the last time i climbed Sport.  Heading to the Red this weekend...
4. Leading Trad to 11a
Close on this last fall, but I want more than one route in one location.  I want to travel leaving 11a Trad!   Did not push it this summer.  never found the drive.

5. Bouldering V4 by the end of summer. 
WTF? Bouldering!!! I cant believe I just vomited in my mouth!  But, in the gym I am projecting V3 right now, and as long as my finger feels good, I want to climb V4 in the Gym.  Maybe, just Maybe I will boulder outside sometime this season.....wont hold my breath though.    Only V3, and no trips to the local bolders outside.
6. A century ride.
I cant believe that I have actually never ridden 100 miles at once, so this summer will be the time.  Another bust, sick the weekend i was going to do this with Mike and Bryan,
