fail, fail, fail, failfailfail for everything on my list this year. but i did manage to scrape by without any injuries...

my best accomplishment (okay-- second-best, after making it into the top 1% of taylor swift listeners on spotify) was getting out from behind my keyboard to meet more of you fine folks. there are so many incredibly inspiring people on this forum and it is an honor to share a slope with you. =D>

andrew85 wrote: Sat Jan 09, 2021 2:02 pm Lol I get nervous about stating my goals because if I fail because it makes any shortcomings tangible as opposed to just saying that I modified my goals along the way, but here's roughly what I'm planning for 2021:

1) Finish my remaining 7 14ers (Decalibron, Quandary, Culebra, and Maroon). Plan to do Decalibron and Quandary in the winter and I'd consider Culebra in the winter as well, but knowing how slowly I move in the winter and how much longer the route is I'm not sure a mandatory 12 hour window would be enough for me. Also I've read repeatedly that the ranch won't let you do it solo in the winter and seeing that I want to solo all of them on the initial attempt, if that's indeed the case that's a deal breaker for me. Lol I'm nowhere near competent enough to even think about Maroon in the winter and plus I want to do the Bells Traverse.

2) Complete the Crestone and Bells Traverses to finish the traverses.

3) Start on the California 14ers with Russell, Whitney, and Muir.

4) Put in more work on the Centennials seeing as I only have two so far and even those were directly linked to 14er attempts (Columbia and Gladstone).

5) Do at least 100 Inclines. Did 55 in 2020 even with the four month covid hiatus and ~80 in 2018 and 2019 (lol didn't track all of them, but I know it was in that ballpark), so I think 100 is attainable especially with now trying to commit to at least twice a week even if I have to do it when it's dark.

Image
1) SUCCESS - Finished the 14ers with Maroon back in August!

2) 50% SUCCESS - Completed the Crestones Traverse, but my weather window closed on the summit of Maroon forcing me to forego attempting the traverse.

3) 33% SUCCESS - Was able to get Mt Russell, but smoke from the fires prevented me from continuing on to Whitney and Muir.

4) SUCCESS-ish - I got one! Lol just added Red Mountain with Culebra, had hoped to get Meeker, Huerfano, and California too but my Russell reservation getting cancelled and having to plan around my backup date pretty much tanked my September.

5) FAIL - Looks like I'll only end up with ~80 again so we'll say ~80% SUCCESS :). Probably would have gotten the 100 but had to have my gallbladder removed back in April and that derailed me for a couple months.

I made a set of playable maroon bells that I actually took up there to play on the Maroon Bells assuming I'd be able to complete the traverse, but it ended up being Maroon only due to weather:



I assume by plaque you mean my whiteboard and no, I always carry that with me to reuse next time--lol well that one's retired, I made a new one for the California 14ers :).

3. Redpoint 5.11 (perma-goal because I never find time to work on it)
4. Younts and Thorofare (most remote 12ers in CONUS)
5. Potential FA(s) of undisclosed 11k peak(s)
6. Do something stupid, like Gannett in a day or something similar
1. I was a little overly optimistic about how many days I would get outside while starting grad school...looks like it will be closer to 50 new ranked peaks.
2. Definitely climbed in some new ranges: explored several areas of the Sierra (SEKI, Tahoe-Donner, Merced), Glass Mountains (CA), Virginia Range (NV), and various basin-and-range areas.
3. This is a perma-goal for a reason.
4. Next year.
5. Next year. Found out one of them was already climbed.
6. Check--I didn't attempt GIAD this year, but THIS definitely counted as "something stupid," namely hiking an FKT route the weekend after a record-breaking snowstorm, complete with the nighttime sugar-crash bike ride back to the car to turn a mellow hiking traverse into an all-day epic. THIS probably counts too.

that's pretty cool. i guess it's a good thing they're not called the Tubular Bells.

Thanks! Lol yeah fortunately I was able to come up with something manageable to carry up there, this was about as big as would be safe/practical to strap to the side of my pack on a peak like Maroon (about 2' long @ 3lbs).

With avalanche danger still high across most of the state, I'm finally ready to do my 2021 goal recap. Happy New Year everyone!

1. Three of last five spring 14ers, including S. Maroon via Bell Cord - partially - got three of last five, but the Bells are the two I didn't get.
2. Longs in Jan to finish monthly grid - done! Thanks for joining me Rose!
3. Lincoln group in Feb to finish monthly grid - Nope. Will try again Feb 2022 to get this finished.
4. 12 more Sawatch grid slots (currently at 96/192) - Nope. Only 4 new ones done - 100/192 currently.
5. Help others develop new skills - yep, had quite a few fun days out with others this year that pushed their skills a bit.
6. 10 new bi-centennials (currently 40 to go), including at least one tough one (targeting Coxcomb) - done! Down to 26 bi-centennials left and got Coxcomb done in Aug.
7. Two new 14er snowflakes (currently 11 to go, but hopefully that goes down a little between 12/21 and 12/31 (NONE OF MY NEW ONES WERE SAFE IN THIS WINDOW, SO STILL 11 TO GO) - partially - got skunked winter 2020-2021 on new 14er snowflakes, but managed to get Pyramid 12/22/2021 to get down to 10 left.
8. >75 total 13er/14er summits (ranked/unranked) for 2021 - close, but not quite. 104 total peaks (79 ranked), but only 72 13ers/14ers (65 ranked)
9. Three 13er snowflakes (currently have a lowly 6 ranked snowflakes) - close, but not quite - got Evans B and Pennsylvania for two more ranked snowflakes. I did add a snowflake on the elusive Kuss that I walked right underneath when I did all these peaks the first time, so that's gotta count for something...
10. At least one day out with my wife, my son and my daughter (likely to be different days) - done!

Learn how to use a GPS-Not yet, but practiced once. Actually, screw it. A map is better
Backpack every month of the year-Completed January, February, March, April, May, June, August, September, October, November, and December. July was missed.
Camp in -20F or below temperatures to test some gear out.-The coldest I camped was -15F on 2/28/2021. Close enough perhaps.

I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.
