From 2 different threads. The 2nd list isn't necessarily this year.
12ersRule wrote: Tue Dec 08, 2020 12:05 pm Mountaineering goals - mostly wilderness related - more Eagles Nest, more LCW, more Zirkels, more HCW, unranked/named RMNP and IPW points. Finally tag Dirt Benchmark and maybe a few other Wilderness highpoints that I'm missing.


-Trying to get a distinct peak for all 366 calendar days (312 done).
-Get to triple digits in Wyoming ranked peaks. Try to pick some of the more interesting peaks here, either in difficulty or just because they're cool.
-Get to quadruple digits in Colorado ranked peaks.
-All the ranked,soft-ranked, and officially named peaks of RMNP and of IPW. Have done all the ranked on both of these.
-Anything above 12k north of I-70. Mostly Gores left, a few Flattops, one in Zirkel Wilderness that is probably on fire right now.
-As many 12ers as possible.
-Top 100 prominence in Colorado. Looking at prominence in Wyoming too, but there's a couple of prominence peaks there that I'll never get.
-All the state highpoints. Denali though...yikes.
-peak radius from my house. Right now, I've done the closest 296 peaks. The next one up is Turtle Rock which has a really tricky section, it's ranked at a 5.9.
-And then there's just getting out because a particular peak piqued my interest.
2 trips into Eagles Nest: "Rain" and "Silverthorne". I chickened out on doing "East Thorn" though. And Grand Traverse.

2 RMNP trips: Arrowhead, nice off-route exploring there.....Eagles Beak and Isolation Peak. Eagles Peak is a helluva lot of fun.
143/166 on the RMNP list I'm going after.

0 IPW trips. 45/55 on the IPW list.

Distinct Peak for all 366 calendar days. The project has a name - Operation Spackle. spackle = filling in the holes of the calendar.
Have filled in 321 of the 366 days.

At 83 ranked Wyoming peaks. Tom P. led Turtle Rock which was a huge help to me. Brought my peak radius from my house up to over 400 peaks.

North of I-70, 13 ranked 13ers and 28 ranked 12ers to go and 52 ranked 11ers to go. Almost all are wilderness peaks - Eagles Nest (13ers and 12ers), Flattops (tons of 11ers and a few 12ers), and Zirkels (quite a few high 11ers, and 1 12er, big Agnes).

Got 2 top 100 prominence this year.

4 new state HPs, all easy eastern states ones.

71 peaks to go to get to quadruple digits in Colorado ranked peaks.

Re: 2021 Goals

Post by Scott P »

Only two more months to go. I hope everyone is doing well with their goals. There is still time left!

Anyway, it is obvious that I'm not going to even come close to completing everything on my list, but I didn't think I'd ever finish all of them this year. To date I finished fewer than expected, but much of that was due to surgery and the fact that I worked in Fairplay for most of the summer. The latter was actually a good thing though since it allowed me to complete a lot of peaks in that area that I otherwise wouldn't have done this year.

My Aconcagua trip was cancelled for next February because the park will be closed. Instead, I am going to Ecuador and Colombia next month, so I adjusted the list to include those peaks on top of the list.

14ers wise, I didn't do good at all this year and don't think I'll finsih anymore by years end.

PS, I could use some partners for some of these, so if you see anything you want to do, please do let me know!

As of 11/1/2021:

Generic Goals for 2021

Hiking and Climbing Days = 250-Currently at 267 as of 11/1/2021. Doing OK, goal wise. I should get well over 300 this year.
Summits Climbed = 150- Currently at 137 as of 11/1/2021. Doing OK, goal wise.
Rock Towers/Technical Buttes = 10-Currently at 6 as of 11/1/2021. Still behind. I didn't get any in April, May, June, July, August, or October. I could use some partners!
Technical Rock or Ice Routes = 30-Currently at 21 as of 11/1/2021. Due to my tumor sugery, I didn't get any technical routes May-August, but I am healing up and started working on it again.
Technical Canyons = 30-Currently at 22 as of 11/1/2021. Whether or not I make 30 remains to be seen, but I will probably come up short.

Backpack every month of the year-Completed January, February, March, April, May, June, August, September, and October. July was missed.
Camp in -20F or below temperatures to test some gear out.-So far the coldest I camped was -15F on 2/28/2021. Close enough maybe?

Hopefully no forest fires this year!
Got #25 last Saturday!
I got 5 but never made it to the San Juans for Sneffels (top of next year's list).
262 and counting (though 300 seems unrealistic at this point).
No real fires to speak of in CO but MT was a completely different story.
There's more to life than 14ers. There are 13ers.

Finished the RMNP 100 highest peaks with Sharkstooth (5.4)
Got 86 new 13ers done, same number as 2020, including 5 more cents, 19 more bicents, and 13 more tricents.

Did seven 14ers, bringing my total of multiple-ascent 14ers to 13.

State high points this year: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and the main accomplishment: Washington’s Mt Rainier. (Didn’t get Gannett, which will be high priority next year).

Next year will be tougher as my remote work from Colorado is probably coming to an end, thus forcing me home so I’ll only get a couple months in Colorado in 2022…. Oh well, it’s been a good run while it lasted!

300 miles

Hopefully no forest fires this year!
Got #25 last Saturday!
I got 5 but never made it to the San Juans for Sneffels (top of next year's list).
262 and counting (though 300 seems unrealistic at this point).
No real fires to speak of in CO but MT was a completely different story.
Great job! Keep plugging away and enjoy every step. Interesting to see where you go and end up. But it doesn’t end there!

Re: 2021 Goals

Post by Scott P »

Is it just me or is 2021 going by fast? Only one month to go. Anyway, it's pretty obvious by now that I'm going to miss a lot of my goals. I'm leaving for Colombia-Ecuador soon so don't have much time left for local goals this year.

PS, time is passing quickly and I could use some partners for some of these, so if you see anything you want to do, please do let me know!

As of 11/30/2021:

Generic Goals for 2021

Hiking and Climbing Days = 250-Currently at 295 as of 11/30/2021. I should have set a higher goal.
Summits Climbed = 150- Currently at 153 as of 11/30/2021. Goal met, but I hope to do several more peaks.
Rock Towers/Technical Buttes = 10-Currently at 8 as of 11/30/2021. Slightly behind, but I could do it if I have the partners (hint, hint).
Technical Rock or Ice Routes = 30-Currently at 26 as of 11/30/2021. Due to my tumor sugery, I didn't get any technical routes May-August, but only have four more to go so I hope to make it.
Technical Canyons = 30-Currently at 24 as of 11/30/2021. Whether or not I make 30 remains to be seen, but I will probably come up short.

1) sub 23:00 5K - check
2) 2 of the following 3 (don't think i can manage all 3 in the same year)
a) sub 4:00 marathon - moved to 2022
b) first 50K - check
c) Grand Canyon R2R - check
3) get some more east coast state high points - Mt. Marcy, Mt. Mansfield, Clingman's Dome, Mt. Mitchell, Brasstown Bald, Sassafrass Mt. - got Marcy, Mansfield and Black Mountain in KY; the southern states are gonna have to wait til they get their COVID act together

also, possibly considering another late summer/early fall CO trip with some 14ers on the agenda, depending on travel/vaccine status - nope

more importantly, the following goals will hopefully be unique to this coming year (sadly they won't be):
1) stay COVID-free until there's a vaccine - check
2) get the vaccine - check... and booster too!
3) try to pay a lot less attention to news/politics.... should be much easier after 1/20 - - work in progress
modest goals compared to most here, but 2021 was definitely an improvement on 2020

-I have a few 5th class summits I'd like to tackle. A real grab bag of climbs: An aid climb, a few high desert peaks, one a possible FKA. Oh, and my White Whale: Kissing Couple, a 5.11a (b/c??) that I keep putting off. I'll probably end up aiding or Free-Frenching the crux, I don't have Kor's wingspan and at this point in life it's unlikely I'll grow another 2-3" :lol: A good effort: A few 5th class outings, but unlike 2020, no FKA's this year. And I didn't even try Kissing Couple, shame on me!

-There are another 2-3 alpine 5th classers, unranked, that look intriguing. I probably could solo them, they're all 5.6 or less, but sometimes one climber's 5.6 is my "Holy sh*t! Are you kidding me??" So we'll see, but that uncertainty is part of the fun of exploration. I'll save those for when it gets too hot in the desert. Good effort: A couple of good outings, incl Washakie Needles up in WY.

-I'm slated to do the Ruby-Horsethief kayak float this spring with a couple of friends. They'll humor me by stopping along the way so I can check out an apparently unclimbed 5.x tower. Did this, including the recon, but the tower doesn't look climbable without heavy artillery. But I didn't get a chance to check out the north flank, I'll probably do that in 2022. FWIW I also did a paddling kayak trip down the Green River's Gates of Lodore section in mid-October. Beautiful and challenging! That'll just be an overnight recon.

-Finally, road cycling: I've been toying with cycling to each of Colorado's 7 state borders. Silly project, just me. My attempt at Wyoming this year was thwarted by 82mph winds, yikes! Maybe 2021 will bring success to a few state border rides. I'm also toying with trying for a Super Randonneur effort, but eh...not so sure I like the sound of all that misery. Pretty good luck with this: I cycled almost 3,000 miles in 2021, and made it to the state borders of WY (fun 127 mile day) and Nebraska (harder 160 mile day with 95 degree heat and a very hilly finish from 140-160 miles).

You did get to do this one though and I got a good photo of you on the route. :wink: That was an interesting climb for sure.

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

2021 Goals:

Finish the 13ers (1 left, ski descent of Star when spring snow window allows) Well I had finished this goal May 16, but now with the new LiDAR peaks I have 4 more left
Finish ranked Collegiate Peaks Wilderness (3 left) Done! Originally finished on Green October 3, refinished on 13472 on November 28 due to LiDAR promotion. We'll see if any other softies get bumped up.
Finish ranked Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness (5 left) - no new progress this year, but I now have 6 left due to LiDAR, maybe more if 12745 gets bumped (noticing a theme? :lol:)
New winter ascents, thinking Clinton, Pikes, Shav-Tab for sure, maybe some others? Just got Pikes in the High 100 new in winter (other new one was a lower 13er, "Mountain Boy Peak"), may add something Christmas week?
Get out of state and hopefully out of country pending pandemic travel opening back up Capitol Reef in April, Henry Mountains Memorial Day, Arches in November but was repeats

Yeah, "interesting" for sure, Scott! Due to old parachuting and trail running injuries, I'm not the most enthusiastic jumper, trashed ankles. But that was a fun day for sure!
