Friday glee hopes to live widely

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: The Width of Life, a short film about Dave Pegg and his legacy of new routing in Rifle. Content note: contains discussion of Pegg's severe depression and suicide.

New routes! Some of which I can climb! :-)

Also, the person who decked out last week (not someone I know) is expected to make a full recovery.

Still no climbing, but yesterday my former partner Lior was in town and I got to see her for a couple of hours. She looks fantastic. There's a great gym in D.C. and she is now doing 5.11 overhangs. I have deep climbing envy.
