Am planning for Sniktau first, then we'll see what time and resources permit. Forty years ago in June this was my 2nd 13er, so one goal to plan for is using digital photography to share the experience with others who, like me, haven't the time to summit as much as desired.

Goal is 50 summits, ranked or unranked.

I'd like to make two trips to the San Juans, hopefully getting 10 from that area.

Besides that, it is pretty wide open. I plan to visit every range and would love to get my wife out with me as much as possible (conflicting schedules).

Also plan to make a run up to the Wind River Range, with Lizard Head in mind but I visited the Cirque of the Towers area last summer so I may venture into something new.

Hopefully a couple couloir climbs in the spring; Boudoir on Horseshoe and the Edwardian.

West Ridge of Dyer and East Ridge of Pacific this summer would be nice but knocking out half of my remaining 14ers takes precedence once the snow melts, for me.
