OK, so it's a crappy rainy day and I'm bored....
Got out this week for my first taste o' Gunks rock for 2004  , and it got me thinking about what routes I'd like to get on this year.
What are some that y'all are hoping to knock off this season?
My abbreviated list (I came up w/ over 50  ) includes the following routes:
5.7's and under - Shockley's (still ain't never been on it  ), Sixish, White Pillar, Dennis, Andrew, YYYY, Casa E, the -dance climbs
5.8's - Birdland (followed it), Farewell to Arms, Double Crack, Main Line, Drunkards, Broken Sling, Alphonse, Casablanca, SoEO in 1 pitch, p1 of Birdie Party, Fat Stick to YR, Cruise Control, Portrait of the Artist
5.9's - Bonnies Direct, CCK Direct, Le Teton, Apoplexy, MF (followed), Directissima to MT (followed), WASP, Trusty Rifle, Pink Laurel, Grand Central, p1 the Spring
5.10's - we'll see....
So, when it finally stops raining  , whaddaya wanna climb?

similar to yours, Murph ('cept for the ones on your list I already ticked):
5.8 - Modern Times (followed a long time ago), Birdland (followed P1, every time I thought about leading it, it had a dozen people waiting), Double Crack, Yellow Belly (got near the crux first time I tried it, but it was near dark, so I bailed), Farewell to Arms.
5.9 - CCK Direct (followed), Grand Central, Inverted Layback (followed P1, led P2), MF (followed P1), Pink Laurel, Le Teton, Apoplexy.
5.10 - Disney Point (followed), Wegetables, Nosedive, Retribution (and any other 10 I think I have shot at this year, since I'm hoping this'll be the year I break through the 5.10 barrier!)
When it finally stops raining, I think I'll get on Yellow Ridge to kick off the season. It's one of my all time favorite climbs.

eowyn, except for the fact that my friend got horribly off route, and wound up on a 10 next to it. andrew, and not get off route myself. jackie recent thread on frog's head made it sound interesting finger locks shockley's madame G laurel classic?
i'd like to TR a bunch of 9's & 10's, including finally getting oops or whatever it is on the oops wall(pskill), clean, and the maybe the crack on the side of the gerdie block. and shit, while we're at it, i'd like to finally pull that damn roof on shit or go blind and more aid and bouldering. i plan on going whoop-ass all over fire escape. damn. i've got some big plans!

Great thread! I've been planning my season out mostly based on left overs from last year, and starting to feel pretty good so here goes:
TRAPPS 5.10s Coexistence The Winter Matinee (mans gotta have dreams right!?) Stirrup Trouble Erect Direction simple stuff Retribution Nose Dive (gotta get it clean this year!) Yesterdays Lemonade (bouldered the start, looks good!)
5.9s Keep on StruttinÂ’ W.A.S.P Apoplexy (I have turne d this climb down more than any other, dont know why) Friends and Lovers Pink Laurel (did a key hold down low break off??)
5.8s Hyjeks Horror CCK (direct) Ape Call
NEARS 5.10s Fat City Transcon ( I am more scared of this one now than ever!) Elder Cleavage Bird Cage Criss Cross direct
Misc. Cruise Control (millbrook)
Ticking one or two of these an outing would be terrific, but we'll see. I've left off some of the classic 6s 7s and 8s as they will get thrown in there as I get suggestions and pass by them.

Since I led ONE measly little climb last year (the actual 5.5 black fly and I got off route  ), I kinda need to start from scratch again (you know...new a1 pulley installed, shoulder surgery behind me now). And I think I like Evan's list best. I've already led Fingerlocks and a pitch of Andrew. I'm back up to 10s in the gym and hope to tackle the rest of that list along with.... Horseman Rhodo Jackie hmmm....okay don't have the book with me.... but if anyone needs a second on an .8 or .9.....give a hollar! jk
