Climbing Resolutions for 2015

A brand spankin’ new year has arrived, and by nature of being climbers, most of us have a rock-related project or goal in our sights for 2015. A few days ago we asked the climbing community to share climbing-related New Year’s resolutions, and here’s what you told us:

Ashima Shiraishi

Ethan Pringle

Train harder.

Sasha DiGiulian

Jessica Fletcher

Take a couple of solid falls on my gear placements!

Joe Kinder

KevinB

I want to finish a V7!

Alex Johnson

Sam Salvano

To NOT burn out the soles of any of my climbing shoes for an entire year!

Hans Florine

Anthony Ascends

To simply have fun, EVERY time I climb in 2015.

Mirko Caballero

Ben Schenck, host of MTNmeister

BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal) – Go on a seven-plus day expedition to summit a mountain outside of the USA.

Meagan Martin

Cali

Continue crushing crag naps 🙂

Emily Harrington

Jenn

I want to consistently onsite 5.11 sport!

Aicacia Young, Founder of Climb Healthy

Georgie Abel

To try harder. It sounds like such a stupid thing to work on but I think that the best climbers really just know how to try harder than other people. I want to get better at clearing my mind so I can focus 100% on trying really, really hard.

The RV Project

Mike Bowsher of The Spray Down

My goal is to send my first V11 on Fotowa at Great Barrington. I’m sooo close already and I’m psyched to get the send soon!

Katie Boue of The Morning Fresh

Parker Webb

I believe in goals, not resolutions, but here they go!

– Climb 450 pitches

– Climb all the 5.9s in Gallatin Canyon

– Run the Ridge Run—hopefully in 4:30 or less

– Get one article published in the Dirtbag Diaries, Adventure.com, or Mountain Gazette

– Walk the Highline “The Royal We”

– Climb the Beckey Couloir on Glacier Peak (cough, cough Justin Willis)

– Climb 20 pitches on my 20^th birthday

– Do 20 sunrise to sunset days where I start an ‘adventure’ before sunrise and don’t stop until after sunset

– Raise $2,000 for the Mountain Fund
