All CA fourteeners. One down.

Complete the CA 14ers (11 done, 4 left to do)
Raineer
Orizaba
Denali
As many Sierra classic peaks as I can make it to, a couple of peaks a year, until I'm physically not able to climb any more.

I'm on a variation of the "Fatdad" plan.

Thank God for the Sierra Nevada.

Hey Fatdad & JHH60, don't forget Old Guys Rule! O.K. maybe we won't rule the 7 summits and the 8,000 meter peaks, but we can rule the Sierra!

Ultimate goal: Denali
Short term goal: All the major Oregon cascade volcanoes ( I determine what major means )
This means Jefferson, North Sister and Hood. McLoughlin, not too interested, but if the chance arises...

Also, Rainier, Adams and Baker.

Most of the major Japanese peaks, but Kita-dake especially.

Hummingbird Ridge on Mt. Logan.
When I'm older but still just enough in shape to do it. If I die at that age, so be it.
The route has not been repeated since its 1st ascent many years ago. It may never be.

shit, i guess that robbins, pratt, etc. would be 'gumbies' too then, not to mention virtually everyone else on this site, and most climbers in general... did bridwell even climb .13?

Ama Dablam

Probably not in that order though. I'm waiting for that Serac about C3 on AD to fully collapse before I set foot there.....

Mt. Reality for me...
Waddington range for 4 weeks next summer actually.

Hey Fatdad & JHH60, don't forget Old Guys Rule! O.K. maybe we won't rule the 7 summits and the 8,000 meter peaks, but we can rule the Sierra!

Update: 14 California Fourteeners done, one left to do. Check off Polemonium, North Palisade and Starlight.
