Highly dependent on what happens with the Covid, as it ruined most everyone’s plans this year.
1. Stay healthy with bones in one piece
2. Ski some Elk and SJ 13ers that I don’t want to touch dry.
3. Hike a bunch more new 13ers, including long backpacks
4. Get on a rope and go vertical
5. Cheer Rijaca and others as they beat cancer

Re: 2021 Goals
1. Keep a good balance between hiking trips and hanging out with my wife, who doesn't like long/hard/scary/off-trail hikes which I tend to go after.
2. Finish CO mountain county prominence points (7 left)
3. Rainier? (IT bands healed enough?)
4. Orizaba? (COVID?)
5. Some technical climbs (possibly The Palisade, Dallas, McReynolds, Garden of the Gods, etc).
6. One or more San Juan summits.
7. Go on at least a few hikes with other people.
8. Find a job in the same city that I live in.
9. Stay healthy.
10. Stay alive.

Re: 2021 Goals
Here's to everyone completing their goals in 2021!
1. Have fun and be safe!
2. Finish the Centennials on the 10th year anniversary of my first one (Longs, 8/5/2011). Have Jagged and Meeker left
3. Evans and Quandary snowflake and maybe few others
4. More pure backpack/fly fishing/photography trips
5. Didn't do any trail work projects in 2020 due to limited opportunities, going to change that this year!
6. Repeat 14ers with those doing a peak for their first time
7. Have fun and be safe!

Re: 2021 Goals
--Lose weight that I gained eating Lucky Charms 3 times a day the last couple months
(exaggerating).
--La Plata winter ascent.
--Run Dirty 30 end of May
--A 14er trip in Sangre de Cristo
--One of Capitol, Snowmass, or Maroon Peaks
--San Juans 14ers- Perhaps 2 our of Wetterhorn, Wilson group, and Chicago Basin
--Keep 13er cred up: more 13ers and 12ers than 14ers.

One's 13er list should be longer than one's 14er list. There are like 10x more of them afterall. (Barely keeping up on this, but very aware of it.)
Re: 2021 Goals
Ski one new 14er.

Re: 2021 Goals
hike some 14ers.
Re: 2021 Goals
Ah yes. That elusive last one. I would also like at least 1 new 14er ski as well, but too many factors in the mix.

Re: 2021 Goals
1. Climb more 13ers
2. RGP group, esp. 13,017
3. KC
4. Stay healthy/injury-free
5. Pretend I'm going to climb more 14ers than KC, but really just climb 13ers, esp. random ones where there are no people.
6. Try to dial in nutrition to improve speed.
