Friday glee apologises for lateness

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: Enzo Oddo crack-climbing in Utah.

I skated as a kid, but only sporadically. Fandom got me into hockey RPF and then I decided to try playing for myself, even though all I could do was skate straight, do a large turn, and eventually stop. It was a lot of fun! I hope I'll get another opportunity one day.

Actually the action speed is more similar than I thought it would be: you play one shift/try one route and it's very intense, and then you get a short break to catch your breath, I like that. I also like that climbing feels like using more of my body :) And, when the weather is bad, that it's indoors ;)

LOL! Well, I have quite a few friends into fandom hockey RPF. I just love the game, and have been a huge fan of it since back in the late 70s.

I wouldn't have thought they'd be similar, but with your description I can see what you mean. The thing I love about climbing is the all body thing. Even your brain is working hard!
