Friday glee needs to get better at run-jump starts

The Friday post of glee is where you get to tell us about your climbing-related happiness this week.

It can be a new achievement or adventure, or just that you climbed and had fun; it can be that your favourite climbing wall is expanding or that you bought new rock shoes or that you found a cool ice-climbing vid on YouTube. No glee is too small -- or too big. Members are encouraged to cheer each other on and share the squee.

N.B. Please feel free to post your glee on any day of the week; the Friday glee is just to get the ball rolling.

To enhance this week's glee: the German Climbing Team do some unconventional training to prepare for the increasingly-quirky dynamic moves in comps.

I discovered climbing at 55. Talk about late in life! And yet, I am amazed how how much stronger I have become in the 6 years I've been climbing.

I absolutely glory in achieving things that younger climbers aren't getting.

You cannot possibly be older than me, so you've got many years of great climbing ahead!

You're right, I'm a good deal younger than you. Well, this does make me hopeful. Never too old for something this great...
