Friday glee goes for a little walk

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: 12 Steps: experimental rock climbing with Johnny Dawes

I really like watching the German bouldering team training videos--I think there are 4 long ones and one short one? They are great for ideas of interesting ways to crosstrain. (And then, of course, you fall down the youtube rabbithole of climbing videos.)

This also got posted to another forum I'm in: https://www.facebook.com/thelaurenabrahamfanpage/videos/1152359758128805/

Also I have never tried it but the rice bucket training thing for hands/forearms: http://www.dpmclimbing.com/articles/view/way-iron-fist
