The time has come for the readers of this blarg (I have those, right?) to share their goals for the summer.
This is . . . THE RECKONING.
Leave a comment on this post. Your comment should detail your goal for the summer. Improvement in roped climbing counts! It's all rock climbing anyway, right?
Remember: ideally, your goal is to climb one grade harder than you have climbed so far this year. We're trying to show solid improvement. Don't sandbag yourself!
I will collect the comments and post everyone's goals together. When there is news to report, it shall be reported.
If you go climbing, and I'm not there, and you crush your projects, I'd like you to send me some awesome pictures so I can document your send with authority. I have set up an email address for this very purpose.
Send your radness to: summerofstrong@gmail.com
Let's do this, people!

I want to climb V9 before the summer ends.
no fair... i set the bar too high... summer is not the season for v11!
with sport climbing, is it one letter or number? i hope not number...
Oh, it's letter, of course.
my goal is to send "the path" up at the gunks...i heard its like v10, but people try to down grade it to v9. im also going to throw "jaboo" (the horizontal roof on the carriage road) on the goals list. isnt that v9
So...what are the rules for this thing? How does it apply to 1) Has beens. 2) those who are old and decrepit and have been plagued by injury and/or surgery for the better part of a decade???
That said, if I climbed v8 in 2006, but have had surgery and multiple injuries, etc. and am "getting back ins" so to speak.
SO- I climbed a V4 THIS year, so I'm going to climb V5 THIS year.
And Marrakesh Express (V6) if it fucking kills me.
k thanks.
Tiger Style (V7) will be mine by the end of this summer. If I finish that early enough I also want to work Jackson Pollock (V8).
i shall do the p.o.s. that is the lorax, indeed its a 4 but my ogre ass cant do that shit for the life of me
as it applies to outside climbing i would only have to finish a V3 to complete the summer of strong. however, i am going to be the best and finish a V4!
V3 for me!
v8/v9 and 5.12d/5.13a we need to get outside more to send bigger. when's the next trip folks??
