Friday glee is working on power-endurance

[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: Mar Alvarez on Kif-kif demain, 8c+/9a

I went to The Edge Rock Gym in Jacksonville, FL last Saturday. They have 8 autobelays! I climbed all of 'em. Multiple times. I was there for 2 hours and managed to get 15 climbs in. The hardest thing I did was a 5.8, but it didn't matter. It was climbing!

The gym also has top roping, lead climbing, and bouldering. It's a great place, so I'm considering buying a 7 pack of day passes so that I can go at least once a month and it will cost a bit less.

It's 90 minutes away, so it's a fair amount of driving, but totally worth it to get some climbing in.

This is what happens when you live in Florida, where we have no outdoor rock to climb. You drive a long way to climb in good gyms. (grin)

Yaaaaaaay! Sounds great; I hope you can work out how to make it as convenient as possible.

My hope is to get there at least once a month. That would be very nice, and keep me somewhat climbing happy. (grin)
