Post 'em up!!
Some of you guys/gals have already been sending.
I know Randy (Nefarius) did his first push ascent via the WFLT. A good friend, Lori climbed The Prow, SOLO! Sorry Lori, I know you were trying to keep on the DL, haa haa.
Gabe and Mike? Pete? James? All you other monkeys?
It seems like a lot of people cutting their teeth this year, let's hear about it.

I'm planning to attend the Facelift at the end of September.
Before and after, to do some climbing and hiking, and other delightful activities.

Washingtons Column and/or Zodiac.
A whole lot of free routes in the valley with the wife. Whatever she wants. It's here 3rd year climbing (my 21st year climbing) and I think this will be a year of great progress for her.
I think much of my time this year will be split with Yosemite and the high backcountry.

ammon, word up from the good ole' Stoney Point.
this 07' year will be fun because plans for N.A wall are scheduled. A rope solo of reanimator would be bold but also kinda nice.

Aiming for El Cap Route #32 in a rematch with The Ranch, Ammon. Kate promises to bring me her crashpad to put on a certain ankle-breaking ledge.
Arriving May 22 with an off-the-couch warmup on WFLT with a friend from MN [since I have zero climbing gear here in Canada] then maybe a bit of Mexico sun.
No plans for the fall, but a solo might be in order as it's been a while for me.
I would really REALLY like to get my crab back.
And hey, yeah - Ammon didn't even tell us what he will be up to!

My main goals are opportunisticly to get out whenever I can magically find both time and a partner and to have a blast climbing. (Speaking of which, anyone interested in a day trip this Sunday or Monday? Email me! :-) )
Optimally, I want to climb some challenging routes, build my crack technique, and get comfortable with the idea of leading my 12yo up easier routes.

To avoid the Valley and spend EVERY weekend that the Meadows is open up there hanging on knobs!
Locker style edit....
I would like to spend some time in the Valley in the fall.

Hey! I've been outed! Uh, thanks, bro? =)
More plans are in the works... Looks like partner Blaine and I are going to have a look at the Leaning Tower Traverse (all the way to the summit) in a few weeks, then something else on another big stone in Yos (to be determined) and THEN go for a weak man's linkup. No worries about us, Dean and Timmy, we're merely mortal.
I'm really planning on hitting cracks (free) hard this year, instead of aiding, and working on efficiency, overall, for bigger plans next year (maybe something free and "easy" on the west side of the captain). I'd like to try to beat my time on WFLT as well.
If I can get my knee back in order I'd really like ot have a go at the Cathedral Range too.
Then there's a couple of big projects I may be shooting on that are better left unsaid for now.
More than anything this year is about mileage and chillin' with the monkeys in the valley. Ooooooah!

Plans to go for the Zodiac in June. . . unless it's too busy. Plan B is Tangerine Trip.
Succeeded on the Nose in 1989---Five days.
Backed off Triple Direct in 1994---Too Hot, got spanked.
