Re: 2023 Goals
Skiing is the only thing I truly care about in life, so every season, I try to make sure I get at least 50 days in at the resorts.
I got to Day 50 on February 28th this year, then 51 & 52 the first two days of March.

Re: 2023 Goals
Post-winter update:
- Remaining 14er subsummits: Southeast Longs, West Wilson, South Wilson
Lost ground on this one since another subsummit - Pin Point - was added to the list. At least it's right by the Wilsons I need. Need to research possible spring climb routes...
- Expand 13er count - both snowflake and otherwise and inclusive of all categories (cent, bicent, ranked, unranked).
Really rocking on this one - got 10 new 13er flakes (I'm not a fish so I was very happy with this number) and 3 of those were new peaks for me. Plenty of time to add more new non-flake 13ers.
- Possibly try to squeeze in another 14er snowflake or two
Didn't manage this one because the above took up my Saturdays and conditions weren't optimal - will put some extra focus on adding a couple next winter.
- Consider (conditions/schedule permitting) taking on some harder 13er snowflakes (class 3+) in order to help address the above fruit problem
Didn't really get much of this (found some minor scrambling along the way here and there) but with lots of snow still around I'm converting this to a spring goal to work on snow scrambles.
- Commence pondering the possibility of some year maybe actually doing some winter camping - not likely to actually start this year but maybe get some research rolling for future years with an eye again to the aforementioned fruit problem
Did a little pondering, lol. Still on track...
- Maybe have a go at another Great Traverse or two (haven't done Crestones or LB-B)
Very much on the radar once things dry out (unless I have smashing success with the above mentioned snow scrambling and get addicted enough to advance this goal to spring)
- Keep my eyes open for opportunities to team up with partners (old or new) for any of the above or perhaps a repeat that can be pitched in an appealing manner
Off to a great start - had partners old and new for several hikes and even managed some repeats with new partners. Will continue to keep my eyes open.

Re: 2023 Goals
March has come gone. The year is about 1/4 over. Only nine months to go. I hope that you are all doing well with your goals.
March was a pretty good month for me and I hiked, climbed, or canyoneered on all 31 days. Once again, the only real drawbacks were that I didn't get any rock towers and that most of my summits were repeats. I didn't really do anything noteworthy, but got peak 5100/Amasa Back which has been on the list for a while. I did get a lot of new after work snowshoe trails around Granby, but few summits.
Generic Goals for 2023
As of March 31:
Total Hiking, Climbing, and Canyoneering Days = 320-Currently at 88. I am ahead of schedule.
Total Days Hiking, Climbing, Canyoneering, and Biking Days = 350-Currently at 88. I am ahead of schedule.
Summits Climbed = 150-Currently at 42. I am ahead of schedule.
New Summits Climbed = 60-Currently at 10. I am behind schedule.
States to Climb Summits in = 6-Currently at 4. I am ahead of schedule.
Countries to Climb Summits in = 3-Currently at 2. I am scheduled for Chile/Argentina November and December.
Rock Towers/Technical Buttes = 10-Currently at 0. We attempted 1, but it was too icy to climb.
Technical Rock or Ice Routes = 30-Currently at 10. I am right on schedule.
Gym Climbing Days = 30-Currently at 2, but I'm not in a big hurry for this one.
Technical Canyons = 30-Currently at 7. I am ahead of schedule.
Biking Days = 30-Currently at 0, but I'm not in a big hurry for this one.
Lose Weight in lbs. = 20 (currently at 268)-Currently at 11 lbs. lost.
Plus this: Try not to get too riled up on people not knowing that calendar winter isn't a good definition of winter (even though it's the one used for official winter ascents) and people improperly identifying the Gore Range as well as people calling this extremely popular range "secret". -Doing OK so far.
I'm going to call the below a Wish List, rather than a Goal. The reason is my Goal is to finish 50% of the below. It is extremely unlikely that I will finish all this, but my goal is 50%. Of course more will be added as the year goes on. As always, partners are welcome. (Gaps will be left every 50 to make it easier to reference while I'm updating).
As mentioned on a previous post, I am now working in Granby until Thanksgiving so several peaks in that area were added and I'm not going to make it to as many places closer to Grand Junction as I originally planned.

March was a pretty good month for me and I hiked, climbed, or canyoneered on all 31 days. Once again, the only real drawbacks were that I didn't get any rock towers and that most of my summits were repeats. I didn't really do anything noteworthy, but got peak 5100/Amasa Back which has been on the list for a while. I did get a lot of new after work snowshoe trails around Granby, but few summits.
Generic Goals for 2023
As of March 31:
Total Hiking, Climbing, and Canyoneering Days = 320-Currently at 88. I am ahead of schedule.
Total Days Hiking, Climbing, Canyoneering, and Biking Days = 350-Currently at 88. I am ahead of schedule.

Re: 2023 Goals
I accomplished the goal of breaking 50 for 9 holes, hiking to the top of Falcon Peak and eating at In & Out Burger all in the same day.

Re: 2023 Goals
I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on baby, just rock, rock, rock
Re: 2023 Goals
The first quarter of the year was a massive success personally. I got out a lot more than I ever imagined, and with a good balance of hiking and XC skiing for once. Checked off 2 new-to-me 14ers (Evans and Pikes), and as snowflakes no less. Added 4 other new snowflakes with DeCaLiBron before access closed down. A soft goal of 100mi XC (backcountry) skiing is in reach (currently 94.5mi - basically need one more nice day to hit this). 172.5mi on the bike already too. I can only hope the summer goes as well!madmattd wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:18 pm What the heck, I'll try posting a few this year and see if it helps push me to actually attain them.
325mi hiking - Might have to revise this goal, I'm already at 118mi
100k vert hiking - Also might have to revise this, at 33k so far
2 winter snowflake hikes (13ers or 14ers) - Blew this one out of the water with 5 such hikes, total of 3 13ers and 7 14ers
Class 3 explorations - Kit Carson/Longs are my only real class 3 ascents, but I loved both (ignoring Challenger Point to get to KC...)
More backpacking - 4 nights minimum, 6+ desired - One planned trip fell through, but plenty of time!
10 new ranked 13ers
More specific goals:
- Hiking/photography trip to Moab (Canyonlands/Arches). Haven't been since 2018 due to a variety of reasons, needs to happen this year! - Had a fun trip in early March, good to get back out there for a few days.
- Chicago Basin trip (3+ 14ers & Jupiter)
- Wetterhorn
- Lindsay NW Ridge (if access reopens...) - Not looking good...
- Attend Fall/Winter Gatherings
Re: 2023 Goals
Well, the year is about 1/3 over. I hope that you are all doing well with your goals.
April was a pretty mediocre month for me, goal wise and I hiked, climbed, or canyoneered on 29 days. I did get some things done that were on the list for a long time such as flowing the San Juan River (I had done this in 1988 and 1989, but not recently), and the Tanner/Hot Na Naa technical loop in Marble Canyon (AZ). Other than that, April wasn't that exciting. I also got few peak in since it has been hard to find after work peaks in Granby where I working (there are some around, but not that many that can be done after work due to limited trailhead access). I also got an ascent of Crag Crest in, so I have now climbed it every month of the year, a goal which I have had for a while. I still haven't got any rock towers in.
Generic Goals for 2023
As of April 30:
Total Hiking, Climbing, and Canyoneering Days = 320-Currently at 117. I am ahead of schedule.
Total Days Hiking, Climbing, Canyoneering, and Biking Days = 350-Currently at 117. I am ahead of schedule.
Summits Climbed = 150-Currently at 52. I am ahead of schedule, but only because of January through March. I was behind schedule for April itself.
New Summits Climbed = 60-Currently at 14. I am behind schedule.
States to Climb Summits in = 6-Currently at 4. I am ahead of schedule.
Countries to Climb Summits in = 3-Currently at 2. I am scheduled for Chile/Argentina November and December.
Rock Towers/Technical Buttes = 10-Currently at 0. We attempted 1, but it was too icy to climb.
Technical Rock or Ice Routes = 30-Currently at 14. I am ahead of schedule.
Gym Climbing Days = 30-Currently at 2, but I'm not in a big hurry for this one.
Technical Canyons = 30-Currently at 12. I am ahead of schedule.
Biking Days = 30-Currently at 0, but I'm not in a big hurry for this one.
Lose Weight in lbs. = 20 (currently at 268)-Currently at 11 lbs. lost.
Plus this: Try not to get too riled up on people not knowing that calendar winter isn't a good definition of winter (even though it's the one used for official winter ascents) and people improperly identifying the Gore Range as well as people calling this extremely popular range "secret". -Doing OK so far.
I'm going to call the below a Wish List, rather than a Goal. The reason is my Goal is to finish 50% of the below. It is extremely unlikely that I will finish all this, but my goal is 50%. Of course more will be added as the year goes on. As always, partners are welcome. (Gaps will be left every 50 to make it easier to reference while I'm updating).
As mentioned on a previous post, I am now working in Granby until Thanksgiving so several peaks in that area were added and I'm not going to make it to as many places closer to Grand Junction as I originally planned.

Trip Report and Photos:
https://www.summitpost.org/2023-trip-log/1074546
April was a pretty mediocre month for me, goal wise and I hiked, climbed, or canyoneered on 29 days. I did get some things done that were on the list for a long time such as flowing the San Juan River (I had done this in 1988 and 1989, but not recently), and the Tanner/Hot Na Naa technical loop in Marble Canyon (AZ). Other than that, April wasn't that exciting. I also got few peak in since it has been hard to find after work peaks in Granby where I working (there are some around, but not that many that can be done after work due to limited trailhead access). I also got an ascent of Crag Crest in, so I have now climbed it every month of the year, a goal which I have had for a while. I still haven't got any rock towers in.
Generic Goals for 2023
As of April 30:
Total Hiking, Climbing, and Canyoneering Days = 320-Currently at 117. I am ahead of schedule.
Total Days Hiking, Climbing, Canyoneering, and Biking Days = 350-Currently at 117. I am ahead of schedule.
Summits Climbed = 150-Currently at 52. I am ahead of schedule, but only because of January through March. I was behind schedule for April itself.
New Summits Climbed = 60-Currently at 14. I am behind schedule.
States to Climb Summits in = 6-Currently at 4. I am ahead of schedule.
Countries to Climb Summits in = 3-Currently at 2. I am scheduled for Chile/Argentina November and December.
Rock Towers/Technical Buttes = 10-Currently at 0. We attempted 1, but it was too icy to climb.
Technical Rock or Ice Routes = 30-Currently at 14. I am ahead of schedule.
Gym Climbing Days = 30-Currently at 2, but I'm not in a big hurry for this one.
Technical Canyons = 30-Currently at 12. I am ahead of schedule.
Biking Days = 30-Currently at 0, but I'm not in a big hurry for this one.
Lose Weight in lbs. = 20 (currently at 268)-Currently at 11 lbs. lost.
Plus this: Try not to get too riled up on people not knowing that calendar winter isn't a good definition of winter (even though it's the one used for official winter ascents) and people improperly identifying the Gore Range as well as people calling this extremely popular range "secret". -Doing OK so far.
I'm going to call the below a Wish List, rather than a Goal. The reason is my Goal is to finish 50% of the below. It is extremely unlikely that I will finish all this, but my goal is 50%. Of course more will be added as the year goes on. As always, partners are welcome. (Gaps will be left every 50 to make it easier to reference while I'm updating).
As mentioned on a previous post, I am now working in Granby until Thanksgiving so several peaks in that area were added and I'm not going to make it to as many places closer to Grand Junction as I originally planned.

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

Re: 2023 Goals
Your goals exhaust me.
Re: 2023 Goals
April was a good month for me. The weather got sunnier and warmer after what seemed like a pretty brutal winter to me. I got out into the mountains on four days and rode my bike to work every weekday. There were a few drizzly rides but nothing too crazy.
-Hike /trail run 200 miles and 75,000 vertical feet: 67 mi and 16,400 ft so far
-2500 mi on the bike (lots of commuting to/from work): 1354 mi so far
-Climb at least one couloir/snow gully this spring: It seems like every Thursday/Friday, just enough new snow falls to make me question a Saturday outing due to avy concerns. I think the right day is getting close though.
-Keep rock climbing in the gym and outside: Yes. Got out to Turkey Rocks this month and that was a blast.
-Get lead certified in the gym and do some easy leads there: Passed my lead test in March and have indeed done some easy leads. I have to get more comfortable taking falls when it's safe to do so though.
Peak specific goals:
None of these yet. Made one attempt at Buffalo but snow wallowing eventually did us in. Going to climb Marcy in June.
-Buffalo Peak (Jefferson County HP)
-Mt. Lincoln (Park County HP)
-Mt. Marcy (NY HP)
-Mt. Alice (Highest remaining Boulder County ranked peak for me)
-West Buffalo Peak (Buffalo Peaks Wilderness HP)
-Clark Peak (Jackson County, Rawah Wilderness, and Routt NF HP)
