Friday glee is new routing

[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: Inis Mor.

No climbing this week, but maybe next week. I will have a Friday to myself, and I'm seriously considering the possibility of driving to Jacksonville and making a day of it.

In the good news column on climbing, a local group that has been working towards opening their own gym for years has finally got a commitment for a building! So it looks like it's happening! YAY!

LOCAL GYM YAY! \o/

I have broken through a plateau of sorts in my climbing, and I have now made it up a few V2's and have been attempting 10.d's on top of making it up a few 10.c's. There is also an awesome new-ish female setter at my local gym who is too cool for all of us and makes some really fun, really challenging routes that I am in love with.

I WENT CLIMBING THIS WEEK \o/

(The bouldering at the multi-sports thing close to work isn't amazing but it is better than nothing and that's what I end up doing if I hold out for the much better place that is harder to get to.)

My Friday glee is in fact new routing :)

The place I climb reset a section so there's now a new 5.9 and a new 5.10A, both of which I feel fairly good about climbing. Which I extra appreciate because the previous set of routes on that section were all way outside my range, and there were only a handful of routes in the whole gym that were in my range.
