Friday glee is not going to make any "moon" puns

[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: shortly before his 49th birthday, Ben Moon climbed Rainshadow, his second 9a (since his route Hubble -- considered at the time the world's first 8c+ -- is now widely thought to be 9a).

Here's an interview with him about it.

And here's some footage of Steve McClure on Rainshadow.

That's not weird at all! I walk, and try to do some upper body work. But nothing satisfies like climbing. Also I live in Florida, so it's very flat here. If you can't climb in the gym, you're pretty stuck. (sigh)
