Friday glee hopes never to rupture a kidney

[rydra_wong]

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: Offwidth Outlaw: Pamela Shanti Pack

Cool on the project route. We have limestone pits here in Florida, but no one climbs them. The rock is so soft, it crumbles. So I'm curious about climbing limestone elsewhere.

Brassington is Doleritic limestone, which is quite hard, and pretty pockety. Which does make gear placement interesting at times!

It's very different limestone. Nothing hard about ours at all! But then, it's not cliffs but holes! We have limestone pits, and most of the time they're filled with water. Florida's highest point is 300 feet about sea level and most of the state is below sea level. So it makes for a very different environment.
