Friday post of glee

[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 a good time; 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.

To enhance the glee this week: free climbing documentaries! Messner (about the great mountaineer) and Beyond Gravity (featuring Lynn Hill and baby!Katie Brown, among others) can be watched online at Snag Films.

Went bouldering before work twice! Despite the fact that on one of those occasions, the fixie seat post disintegrated halfway up the road (went home, got other bike, went to gym) and on the other, I got a puncture halfway there (it was slow enough to ride to the Arch, then fix it by the front desk once I was done climbing...). Hurrah.

Also I made it all the way up the V2 on the prow that I've been working on since last week! And got very slightly further on another V2 (on the wave bit) and that damn V1 out by the front. Yay.

\o/ Was that that your first V2 off the slab? If so, extra congratulations!

It was! And thank you :)
