Friday glee goes for a little walk

[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.

That's very silly :)

I went climbing for the first time in weeks this week, which was fun. But I need some way to not lose what little stamina I have in my arms when not climbing :-/

Sooo I did something super weird to my ankle on a lead fall earlier this week (mild enough that I kept belaying my partner for a while, then bad enough that I went to emerg to get xrays the next morning & spent the day on crutches, and now two days later again mild enough that I'm walking fine with only a slight limp.)

But! Because I am ridiculous I went to the gym right after I left the hospital, to hang out w my beginner friend... and ended up climbing one-legged. I have never been so proud of finishing a 5.7. :)

(Also my favourite lead partner is once again available to climb with.)
