It's Friday Glee! And it's disgustingly early because I'm in the USA and up very late!

[wpadmirer]

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.

Emperor sent me this wonderful video to share with everyone today!

What's better than new routes? New routes that are a bit over-graded :-) I on-sighted the 6Bs before they changed their minds!

Cool!

I climbed last week with my partner, Lior. But this week she's off to Israel for a few weeks. So I'll be on the auto-belay this weekend.

I still have not conquered that damn 5.9 overhang. Climbing with a belay partner too irregularly is playing havoc on my progress. DAMN!

I had the most amazing climbing session on Wednesday, finishing both top rope and three bouldering routes that I was previously struggling with. I think my hands leveled up in terms of strength :)

That is too cool. I have deep envy of you sending those routes! YAY!

Thanks for getting this posted! I have glee because I'm just back from a climbing trip, the weather wasn't a total disaster, and I got to work on applying my trad skills and had a series of educational adventures that were not actually epics.

My pleasure! And Emperor helped by sending me the video, which was wonderful. (I never have videos to post.)

I'm glad you climbing trip was good, and not a total disaster. I admire you for trad climbing!
