Friday glee wants to go to Bohuslän

[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: Hazel Findlay on Electric Avenue (5.13+R)

Climbing last weekend was wonderful. Yes, it was all indoors and auto-belays, but it was climbing. I climbed all the 5.8s and all the 5.7s, and then did 5.5s and 5.6s until I simply couldn't hold anything anything more. Two and a half hours of climbing and climbing. I was in heaven.

I'm going to the local quasi-rock gym this weekend with my friend Kiara. I'm looking forward to that. I mostly belay her. But there's one 5.8 that I want bad. So I'll be working it.

Took the kid climbing this morning (three V0 routes, including one he found really scary but got up 2nd time) & he fell off for the first time. Uninjured but a little sad, until I pointed out that EVERYONE falls off sometimes & thus that falling off is clearly the sign of a Real Climber. I bought him an Arch T-shirt to celebrate :)

I fell off too but I didn't get a T-shirt ;)

Yaaaay! If L remembers who I am, please feel free to say congratulations from me! And that falling off is Very Important, because trying things that are so hard you sometimes fall off is how we learn and become better climbers.

Took the kids to the very cool new bouldering gym in Eugene (https://elevationgym.com/) which was extremely neat and I wish we had one here. Not least bc my arms were NOODLES the next day, since the local gym shut down I have clearly not been climbing enough.
