Friday glee loves Charlie Woodburn

[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: Charlie Woodburn on Scafell's classic E1, Central Buttress, first climbed in 1914.

I did go climbing last weekend! My friend Paayal and I went to the local gym, which has a small climbing area. It has two autobelays, which I tried out, and they were okay. Some decent routes. It was fun to climb with someone and teach them how to belay. We had a really good time and hope to do more climbing together.

I discovered I can do routes that require more upper body strength! So the time I've spent in the fitness center has not gone to waste - even if it is boring as hell.

Yay strength! Yay new climbing partner!
