The annual pissing contest.
My best year ever. First serious year for me. More canyons in 2008 than all previous years combined. I know most of you beat this but I'm exited. Hope to beat it next year.

My top three and also new to me this year:
3. Paraiso
2. Full Imlay in a day
1. Choprock
I have a short list :cry1:
Eardley
Fatman's Misery
Pinecreek
Ding/Dang
Little Blue John
Turner canyon
My list is very short this year; in fact getting shorter every year since I've gotten back into bouldering. A few repeats (Death Hollow for the 6th time, Alcatraz for the fourth) but I had fun with some new ones:
Paradisio
Limbo
Purgatory
Potty Mouth
Sinusitus/Snot Nose
Alcatraz
Lost Park
Death Hollow ( :rockon: )
Nat
48 canyons in three states. It was a pretty good year; even better when I throw in climbing days, scouting days and river trips!
This year sucked...worst year ever. Only four canyons (shoulda been at least double that, but luck worked against me).
1. Arscenic
2. Spry
3. Gravel
4. Neon
This year wasn't great for me either. I only got nine of them. All my tech canyons can be found below if you sort through the mess:

Not a big number, but a good year for me. Some real bright spots. What a great year.
Just as excited about 2009! Freeze Fest is a great way to start a year!
I have some ideas but I think it's time to write down my goals for the New Year...
Keyhole x3
Subway x2
Pine Creek x2
Echo
Orderville
Successfully avoided Mystery (aka miserable) Canyon four times in 2008! :five:
My biggest accomplishment was to take my kids through Pine Creek. Also, we introduced five people to canyoneering in 2008. :2thumbs:
I can't wait to see what 2009 has to offer. :popcorn:
I had been obsessed with canyons the last couple years, this year I kept my big canyoneering trips to spring and fall with only a few shortee's in the summer and winter. Played in the mountains more this year and will probably do the same in years to come (Monsoon season canyoneering is no beuno). Planning on getting more into mountaineering and climbing this summer but I'm sure I'll still get plenty of canyons in. I still got in quite a few in 2008 so I can't say I laid off too much. My list:
Styx
Darwin
Limbo
Purgatory
Paradiso (twice)
Inferno (twice)
Devils Thumb
The first section of Good Day Jim followed by bailing and hiking the lower portion of Seven Mile.

Pandora's Box

Got in quite a few new ones as well as some old favorites. Ghosted my first canyon (well Tom ghosted it, I mostly just watched) I've STILL yet to do a canyon in the Swell. I guess that should be a goal for spring of 2009!
Maybe we should do a Squeeze trip then. :naughty:Quote:

I think we should. Squeeze, Cable, Quandry, Zero G, haven't done any of them. Pathetic isn't it? :haha:Quote:
