2024 Resolution Check-In

2024-09-07

I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I figured it would be a good time to do a new year’s resolution check-in. If you haven’t read my 2024 resolutions postyou can do so here, but to recap I had three primary goals:

Update my Worldwide Equipment Guide app to use the new Odin API
Climb three new mountains.
Complete Intermediate Climbing School (ICS)

That first goal is appearing like its increasingly less likely to happen this year. Since writing that post one of my old co-workers approached me with a contracting opportunity. That opportunity has turned into a regular part-time job that has more or less consumed all the free time that I would normally spend on personal projects, and at this point it looks like it could continue all the way into next year.

I completed my second goal in July with my summit of Colchuck Peak via the Colchuck Glacier route. To date I’ve climbed 5 mountains this year, 3 of which were new, and successfully summited 4.

I’ve also started my third goal of completing ICS. I was one of the 44 students accepted this year, and started the course this month. Assuming nothing goes horribly awry, I should graduate in March of 2025.

Short post for this month, so I’ll leave you with a question: How are your new year’s resolutions going? Leave your answers in the comments!
