1. Hike up 11 more Centennials to get to 80/100 : at 79/100 ranked after 9 ranked summits, 4 unranked summits and 3 turnaround days; really enjoyed Centennial solitude, mild Sept/Oct weather, Class 3 challenges (Ice, Meeker, Cathedral) and visiting all Centennial ranges
2. Help friends get started on Class 3 14ers : So far, all of my outings have been solo; 2024 opportunity
3. Get better at using my apps for route planning and route finding : Progress: using CalTopo to compare steepness of future hikes to past hikes; using Maps 3D for gpx display; will look for improvement in 2024
4. Figure out how to better predict my hiking time with Roach Points : Bracketing time estimate using Roach Points (23 RP per hour) and Equivalent Flat Haul (Time(hrs) = horizontal distance(miles)/3 + vertical elevation gain(ft)/1000 + downhill elevation loss(ft)/1000); still amazed that after a long climb, my descending speed is not much faster than my ascending speed
5. Contribute more to 14ers.com : Provided several Centennial condition reports with photos and one Cathedral trip report; answered Bill's call for donations
6. Contribute more to 14ers.org : Continued yearly CFI giving streak. Challenge to other 14er finishers: give an above normal gift to CFI to celebrate your finishing
