Friday glee crimps like a kitten

[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: Comfort Zone: Alex Honnold and Jonathan Siegrist get together for some serious training time.

Yesterday I had a boxing lesson in 90 degree heat. I did not stop sweating until well into the hour after the lesson.

My endurance is better than ever. And I've started doing grip exercises.

My next climbing journey to Jacksonville should go better!

I hadn't climbed the last 2 weeks (travel, etc.) so wasn't sure what my capacities would be like this week. While I definitely tired more quickly and scaled back to 8s and 9s (after having recently started climbing 5.10As), I didn't feel like my actual skills had atrophied -- and the difficult 5.9 I always have to cheat on one move of, I still had to cheat that one time, but the rest of it still felt fairly doable.

I have glee because today I went to Curbar and ... got totally beaten up, because Curbar, but it was still a great day.
