Friday glee goes offwidth

[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: it's gotta be Adam Ondra having a battle on Bellyful of Bad Berries.

For US climbers

The Access Fund has a call to action outlining what you can do to help protect public lands (including many important climbing areas) during the shutdown:

ETA: Also Outside's got an interesting piece on the situation in Joshua Tree and the mystery of why the parks are being kept open:
