Friday glee is karate

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: Ethan Pringle on Everything is Karate, 5.14 FA.

Still boxing! I can now throw six punches, though only three of them fairly well. My uppercuts suck.

And the speed bag is my nemesis.

But my coach says I'm an inspiration and will be his poster child for 2018. He told me I work harder and can do more than many of the 19 year olds he works with. I may have been glowing a little when I left.

I actually got climbing this week. My arm stamina really sucks after only a week off :-/

I joined a bouldering gym, and they have the most fantastic workout room. Lots of finger boards, overhanging walls, rings, and everything. Delightful!
