ambitious goal needed 12-Sep-2011 At 3:29:19 PM ebenweb

hi all,

i'm a relatively new climber (1yr gym climbing, now doing grades 17-22) and have about 18 months left here in australia before i start living abroad. before i leave, i'd like to set a very ambitious climbing goal that will force me to train rigorously. i'd like to be at my physical peak by the time i achieve the goal in 18 months--or as close as i can get by gyming about three hours a week and climbing two to three times a week.

at the moment i climb about twice a week and don't excercise beyond that.

can anyone recommend a destination and/or climb? i'd like it to include trad climbing.
of course i want to practice here in victoria but have no objection to interstate or overseas destinations as well.
