What must be done has been decided. If, however, you would like to add your name to this illustrious roll, you need not do more than leave a comment. Your name and intended feat of strength shall be added to yon list up ins this piece.
It is time to train.

seabass-- if you are going to do tiger style and jackson for your goals, you should throw boxcar arete on there too. solid v8, and one of my all time fav gunks problems.
laaaaame... i said i had to climb v11 this summer, where's my name on the wall of shame? I hereby state my goals as Soulshine V10, Year of the CatV10, and a TBD V11
My bad. I thought you were going to give me a sport climbing goal based on your comment down in THE RECKONING part one. Fixed!
Alright as usual I am fashionably late. Do I get a cool nickname like my husband? I see most goals are focused on bouldering. I however would like to set a sport climbing goal as well. I have never finished a 5.10 on lead. Since I do not get outside to climb ropes the only place I can refer to is good old Birdsboro. Any 5.10 at Birdsboro will do. As for bouldering....I would set fluffy white clouds in haycock (v5) as my goal but not sure that this is reasonable in the overgrowth that is the Haycock jungle. Also I have not actually climbed a boulder since April of last year so technically any v0 would do but because that is just plain silly I will give myself the goal of returning to v4 strength. Lorax here I come.
For the record my word verification to post this was PULLYWOO - I hereby define this word to be a description of the state of mind you are in when you injure your finger. No more PULLYWOO's this summer!
Is jan 1 2010 calculation day? When is judgment day?
Whenever the end of summer is. I can't remember when fall starts.
ummm....i was told i HAD to do this so here we go...i'd like to sport climb a 5.10, TR a 5.10b clean, and ummm also while i'm making a list tradding (trading?) High Exposure would be pretty awesome as well. how many other things should i state here? my hands get sweaty just thinking about pulling in the gunks with this much humidity so can i make all that 5.10b talk a 5.8? heh laziness just happens when it's a pool outside! yay summer!!
Derek the nickname you dubbed me with is beyond words! I really think we need team summer of strong tshirts...with our names on the back! Seabass you're on the job right?
I'm on it!
D$ (read Dmoney), the goal is v7 on plastic and to actually climb something outside this summer.
As stated in a previous blog comment, my goal for the summer of strong is to throw down so hard that I clear Earth's gravitational pull, or climb V10/11... whichever comes first.
im pretty late on this...
v3 outside for me
and i want to get on sport routes outside too!
Alright, this blarg is freakin' awesome. I gotta jump into this before I get left in the dust!
Goal 1: Escape Artist 5.9/10a 6-8 pitch trad climb
Goal 2: get back to tougher 5.11 multi-pitch sport climbing shape
Goal 3: Boulder the shit out of something hard TBD
i want to play too! V9 sounds hard for a summer send. any recommendations?? or 5.12d may be easier to do this summer..
want to make it known that I sent Pheobe (5.10b) on TR last weekend....that's 1 of 3 goals done! and I cleaned a 5.9 in lost city...not High E like I was hoping for but summer's not over yet....
