Climb in Forein Country
Status - EPIC FAIL
This fell off the radar and never comeback. Damn, I should have looked at my goals at some point during the year. I have already booked tickets for a 2010 trip to Costa Rica (sadly, no climbing).
Birthday Challenge
Status - Complete
It was rad.
Complete a Route Pyramid
Status - Epic Fail
I didn't devote enough Performance days to this goal. I continued to travel and onsight. I rarely climbed at the same crag twice. When I did, it was separated by months. I was bite by the developing bug this year, which does not help this goal or my scorecard.
Complete a Boulder Pyramid
Status - Partial Fail
I sent a V10, but the goal was to do the whole pyramid to become a better climber. The same reasons/excuses as above.
Flash V7
Status - Fail
I should've done it, lame on my part.
Onsight 12
Status - Fail
I really should've done it, really lame on my part.
Best of 2009
Day
Route
The Citadel, 11b
The Palace, CO
It was long, very different from most CA routes. Engaging the whole way and tops out the cliff. I realized I could climb during the CO winter.

Taos, NM
My first V10, a 4 star problem.
Fall
Pinch Overhang, V5

Flash attempt on a classic
(A close second was falling on a new trad route, ripping out a micro nut and hitting my belayer)
