In the Stout and Satisfying category, Wipeout at Porters Pass was a 4 bolt crux I could do over and over again, and in doing SuperWeak I realised that screaming does make you climb harder! :-) (And 5 months of finger training does make you stronger) Thanks JC. Highlight of the year right there.

Seeing as the main aim of my self-imposed challenge was to stop idling along on easy routes, it's been a total success! Especially since I got distracted by some less easy (but perhaps more interesting?) climbs like Wrong Movements, Veterans Affair, Nappies Patrique, Bareback (!) ah the subtle satisfaction of a good spanking. Has anyone else had a burl at Bareback? It's sublime.

So cheers to all my belayers and partners in climbing, A few of you deserve a carton for your accomplishments this year!!
