Re: 2022 Goals
@kman -- Wow! I haven'd done either Bass, but those pics of the cabin and register really make me want to visit the north. Sounds like a perfect target for later this Spring when the roads are still closed to cars. I don't recognize the Aussie's name, but he gets mad respect.
@TomPierce -- Thanks for pointing me to those Klymit rafts. They're actually pretty affordable and light, and having one would open up some new options for me.

1. Beckey Chouinard, S Howser and Homage to the Spider, Louise. I've had bad weather luck in the past, but that led to all sorts of cool climbs so not too bummed.
2. North Face, Mt Kenya, perhaps next winter pending if things open up.
3. Beaverhead Endurance 100K in Idaho that we're combining with Elephant's Perch, probably Mountaineer's Route and maybe Warbonnett
4. Grand Traverse, Tetons. Hopefully in a day. Weather and partners seem a crux.
5. Toying with another trip into the Denali range, but undecided objectives and style.
6. Sierra - perhaps Bear Creek Spire, Mithril or Fishhook on Russell, Temple Crag
7. Timewave Zero was on the list but we did it a couple weeks back. A bit crowded.
8. Dolomites. I had a trip all planned a couple summers ago right as COVID hit. I'd place this higher than a Sierra trip if traveling out there seems reasonable.

Re: 2022 Goals
And skip some immaculate 5.10 (plus minus) granite climbing in the Direct Beckey, Fine Line, Myopia or sunshine book?! Oh the humanity

^It's all the same in Iowa

Re: 2022 Goals
Yeah, it’s a whole different world on the north side. I definitely recommend it. A lot of great trails and routes originate from the Kaibab Plateau (including the North Bass Trail). The Plateau is a timbered island surrounded by the Grand Canyon on one side and the desert on the other. Elevations can reach 9,000 feet near Saddle Mountain where you can find the Nankoweap Trail. Snow and tree windthrow (blowdown) can be an issue on the Forest Service dirt roads up there from October through early June, so keep that in mind. These are the roads that take you to all the trails and routes along the rim. Definitely check with the Forest Service for current forest road conditions before venturing out there. Also, because there are a spiderweb of Forest Service dirt roads out there, I would highly recommend getting yourself a copy of the map below which you can send away for or get at the North Kaibab Ranger District building at Jacob Lake up on the Plateau.seano wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 12:58 pm @kman -- Wow!

Re: 2022 Goals
Indeed it is. Although the variety of potato protruding out of the cracks does change based on where you at.

Re: 2022 Goals
Hoping to climb a number of new 14ers, mainly in the sawatch range. I am also hoping to climb a difficult 13er or 14er in winter/snow, something that I have never done.
I want to do at least one backpacking trip because I have never backpacked before. I also would like to do more than 200 miles on peaks and trails this year.
The thing I am most excited for is hopefully attempting Sawtooth Ridge!

Re: 2022 Goals
I'm late to this, but wanted to get mine written down. Bit off more than I could chew last year, so I guess I'll change my mindset and try to chip away at things

- at least 10 crag days
- obtain a full trad rack
- at least 30 new 13ers
- at least 2 fifth class alpine routes
- double digit peaks in a single push
- 1 new great traverse
- at least one Wemi trip
- a backpack into the Gores

Re: 2022 Goals
I'm keeping my hiking & climbing goals simple this year:
Finish my last 7 14ers (Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, Ellingwood, Windom, Maroon, Snowmass, and Capitol).
Haven't decided for sure which one to finish on... likely Capitol, but perhaps another.

Re: 2022 Goals
Keeping it simple, finish the Centennials. Only 9 to go with 8 of them in the San Juans, it’s doable, but will take effort.
Century Bound, eventually.

Re: 2022 Goals
Hey all, first time posting here, though have been a long time user of the site. I am training for Aconcagua in Dec and Rainier in May. If you are training for big objectives and are looking for a partner, send me a message. I'm coming off a couple of injuries last year, and currently working on aerobic conditioning with heavy loads.
