1 day in the adirondacks, 1 day around here (if you want to count me losing my shit and not being able to go more than 8ft on a 5.6)... 3 sessions at the gym here and one in France.
Pretty damn lame, since the kid threw me this curve ball, I've taken to fearing most things: bouldering, lead climbing, being outside after dark, driving, gas stoves, bbqs, campfires, raccoons... The list goes on.
Last trip to the gym started and ended with a panic attack. Don't know when the next one will be

ok.
- No ice. First too warm, then too cold, then too warm, (shitty season for ice...)
- Skitouring: 1 day
- Cross country: Did not count, probably more than 10 outings.
- Mountaineering: 1 day
- Hiking: 7 days
- Rockclimbing: 1 Week Buoux, gym (1.5/week average), 1 day bouldering near kandersteg, and about 4 more outings
not too bad, still not enough...

This is the first year I have actually kept track. I'm 22 outdoors and 40 indoors.

15 days outside at 8 different crags/areas. (Multiple walls at one area counted as one crag.)
Probably the same indoors, but that doesn't really count, does it? Inside is training. Outside is climbing.
BTW - In my 15 days, I have 29 new sends, ranging from 5.6 to 2 @ 5.11b (my toughest).

Not as many as I've wanted but the days I've gotten out have been quality. I haven't kept track of indoor but I have a good guess.
Outdoor: 11
Indoor: 35-45
We leave for Thailand on Friday and will climb for 2 weeks there. Part of all the indoor has been training for that.

Any of you keep track of you climbing using a notebook or logbook like the one on Amazon?

In case any of my doctors were to read this, I'm going to say, not once yet this year.

I haven' counted days but have road tripped to City of Rocks, Red Rocks and Yosemite so far. In fact, the Dr told me to stop climbing so my shoulder could heal early this year. I did for a bit, then ramped up again slowly. In Yosemite it went bad, so I have finally taken his advice again. It didn't screw up till after we done 25 pitches one day, (Royal Arches/Crest jewel link up) so that was something to appreciate.

48 days outside, 55 inside. An 8 day trip to Red Rocks, the end of my marriage, and a six week suspension from work have all helped me get my outdoor total way up. More this year so far than all of last. The goal was 75 outside, might hit 100.

I use a spreadsheet. This is the first year I am keeping a detailed account of every climb.

Been outside bouldering around 60 sessions so far this year (and FA'ed around 35 new routes in that time) and about 20 deep water solo sessions too. No days on a rope or in a gym...thank god!

The last time I got outside was April of 2005. It was a marvelous day at Seneca, WV. I'm not sure I technically qualify as a climber any more. Fucking kids and work have really put a damper on things. My five year old is showing a lot of promise in the gym to one day be my new rope gun, however.

All these days on the rock, you could keep track with a handy little logbook. http://tiny.cc/ma79fw
Track the route, gear and performance all in one place. FUn to look back on over the years.

MP ticklist with note on Lead, Follow, TR, etc. Can download to a spreadsheet for backup also. I've had a couple climbs unlisted, though, and not counted. Still quick and easy for me, though.

Yeah I like the MP database too. For me the advantage of keeping track on a seperate spreadsheet is that I can have different tabs for different things. So in addition to a log of my climbs I have a daily journal, my checkbook balance, a checklist for packing for trips, and a few other little tidbits from my life. If i wasn't a total excel nerd it'd probably be much more convenient to just stick to mountain project.

Being obsessive compulsive, I have waited till June 30 to post. 28 days outside so far—all in the Front Range. Two planned trips didn’t materialize. I seldom climb in gyms—maybe 5 days at most since January. Usually if I’m not climbing outside, I’ll do a weight lifting workout. I have a fine 425 sq. ft. weight-room at home. All free weights (no machines), a power cage, a climbing pegboard, and a hangboard. At my age (81), I find that I need to lift weights every week or so to maintain the sturdiness necessary for climbing. Besides which, I enjoy lifting more than climbing indoors, and avoid the half-hour to one hour drive to get to a climbing gym.
Since 1985, I have kept my climbs on database program, currently Microsoft Access. This provides more flexibility than a spread sheet and better searching capability when I want to look back at things. And it is fun to do that. Also, on a public listing, one can’t include acerbic comments about partners and even oneself concerning the day’s events.
Cheers,
Rob.calm
