In reply to lm610:
Looking back at a blog post from last December, my stated goals for this year were:
1) Travel a bit more - hopefully to Lundy, Skye, Lofoten, Font, Fairhead and maybe a few other places.
Been to Lundy, Skye and Lofoten, so I'll count that as a yes.
2) Get some winter climbing done.
Hmm. I managed 4 routes. Which was 4 more than in 2011, but not really what I was hoping for.
3) Lead some E2s.
Didn't think this was going to happen, until I pulled my finger out a bit and led 3 last month.
4) Actually get a bit fitter instead of just thinking about it.
Erm, no.
5) Climb more in the Lake District.
Managed a couple of brilliant days on White Ghyll, and visited Gimmer, Gouther and Shepherd's but that was it, so no.
6) Climb on Cloggy.
No. I spent the one week of sunny weather sitting in my attic revising and generally sulking about the injustice of it all. Bah.
7) Actually solo 100 routes in a day.
No. I've hardly done any soloing this year. Oh well, next year...
8) Climb more on slate and culm.
No. A grand total of 0 routes on either this year.
9) Actually get round to doing Tower Face at Stanage and Scavenger at Gogarth.
Well I did Tower Face, but not Scavenger (although I did do Emulator instead, which was a suitable consolation).
10) Climb the equivalent vertical height of Everest.
I'm on 8426m at the moment, so it isn't impossible. I'll need to do less bouldering and more easy soloing though if it's going to happen.
So 2.5/10, which doesn't sound very good. But I've had one of my best ever years climbing, so I'll not lose too much sleep over it!
