In April as a Packer fan I accomplished a goal of extreme endurance, watching the Drama King finally get traded to another team. This required more patience, stamina, and mental toughness than most 14er hikes I’ve completed.

Goal for this year: Longs/Meeker via the Loft-to-Keyhole loop. I have experience on lower elevations with Class 3 and Class 4 stuff along with route-finding, so hoping that translates to higher elevations.

1. Colfax Half - DONE. can't wait to do another
2. 12er/13er/14er per month challenge - if i can get a peak in this month, i can finally start this (5 months in)
3. Renew WFA certification
4. Complete two more segments of the CT
5. Two backpacking trips - Di severely undershot this one. got three on the books so far
6. Complete at least one peak in all of the major ranges
7. Improve yoga inversions - i was wishy washy about this one, too. would like to buckle down a bit this summer

Re: 2023 Goals

Post by Scott P »

Well, the year is about 2/3 over. I hope that you are all doing well with your goals.

June, July, and August were all good months for me, with the exception of rock towers. I still haven't gotten any. Does anyone want to do some?

Generic Goals for 2023

As of August 31:

Total Hiking, Climbing, and Canyoneering Days = 320-Currently at 239. I am ahead of schedule.
Total Days Hiking, Climbing, Canyoneering, and Biking Days = 350-Currently at 239. I am ahead of schedule.
Summits Climbed = 150-Currently at 139. I am ahead of schedule.
New Summits Climbed = 60-Currently at 69. The goal has been met, but I'll do more.
States to Climb Summits in = 6-Currently at 4. I am ahead on 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. Does anyone want to do some?
Technical Rock or Ice Routes = 30-Currently at 20. 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 1. 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 9 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". :mrgreen: -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.

2. Do more 13ers
3. Do a day with 10k feet of gain
4. Do as many peaks in a day as I can
5. Do a 5th class peak
6. Explore more areas in Colorado, do more stuff in other states
7. Boulder V8 indoors
8. Hike with people more often
200 peaks is not happening this year lol, I'm only at 31. Goals 2-5 I haven't tried for, I haven't really focused on hiking this year. But, I did have a wonderful trip to New Mexico (Organ Mountains, some other random stuff) in February. And last week, I sent a (very much my style and soft) V8!

Some goals for the rest of the year:

1. Make a routine of doing small local hikes consistently - gotta build up my hiking fitness again
2. Climb a 5th class peak - My only outdoor climbing experience is some bouldering and top roping a handful of times, looking for someone safe and experienced to help me out.
3. 15 to 30 more peaks before the end of the year

TomPierce wrote: Mon Dec 05, 2022 2:19 pm 1) Climbing: I've been working on a climbing project, the ranked Colorado 5th class peaks list, off & on for years. The list is actually a bit fluid with LIDAR, some new peaks pop on, older peaks fall off. It's now at the point, however, that I think it's getting pretty stable. I sat down and went through it and realized that I only have 7 peaks left (I don't count 4 of them because they are off limits, Native American reservation issues). So I'm now focused on knocking those 7 peaks off, which will require that I get back to 5.10 leading shape (ugh...but I've already started) and will also require a few prior recons to assess approaches, etc. A few of these peaks will be aid climbs, and while I'm so-so competent at aid, I need to brush up on those skills as well. A long way of saying that although there are only 7 key climbs, there will be lots of training climbs as well. A fun project for sure.

2) River stuff: I've committed to a trip down the Upper Colorado, about 60+ miles, probably in April/May. Might do a multi-day out to the Escalante in Utah, but that's not a high priority, might punt to 2024.

3) Various trips: I really want to camp in the Great Sand Dunes in May for a meteor shower. Might do a couple "mystery" overnighters, e.g. trying to find the mystery 4th class route on West Eolus, then drop into NY Basin for Peak 16. Another mystery is a peak rated either 4th class or 5.6. Huh? I also want to climb Peak L in the Gore with a buddy, I dropped the ball on that one last summer.

That's about it.

In early May I completed the Great Sand Dunes trip referenced above, but 4 days later began a slide into a medical abyss, the onset of a mystery autoimmune disorder. I currently can't go up or down stairs without assistance, can't hike, climb, run at all, etc. Cycling is problematic but possible (an imbalance of power in the legs, freaks my wife out too). It's not a choice or pain tolerance issue, the nerves in my left leg just won't fully fire. Seven to eight painkillers a day which only cut the pain by 50% (and they aren't opioids, so I can't even get high :lol: ). I can walk on sidewalks with a slight limp, drive, etc. that's about it. Finally found a doc who treats this, heavy duty meds at an infusion center are on the near horizon. Fingers crossed. Anyway, don't mean to whine, I wish you guys the absolute best, but I'm out for the rest of 2023.

Good luck out there, be safe!

Get well soon Tom and I'll be rooting for you. I hope that it passes and that we'll be hearing about your adventures soon, whatever they may be.
