Friday glee adapts

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 wonderful Andy Parkin: A Life in Adaptation from 2008 has been made available online.

Parkin's workshop in Chamonix and his belongings were recently destroyed in a fire; a crowdfunding appeal has been set up to support him and the other artists affected.

There was no climbing last weekend. WOE!

However, for Christmas a friend sent me $100 to be used for paying to climb. So Pat has promised me a trip to Jacksonville to climb! YAY!

Merry Christmas :)

[I had one of those weeks where climbing causes a lot of little minor grazes and bruises. So it goes]

Merry Christmas!

You mean you can climb without getting those? I always come home with bruised knees and elbows!
