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.

I confess I haven't been too gleeful about climbing lately because of some ongoing mysterious medical issues that make me often not able to go and not particularly strong when I do. But today I went despite feeling less than 100%, and I only bouldered for about 45 minutes and was vaguely pathetic, but I went, and, well, I suspect that needs to be my benchmark just at the moment. Therefore, in honour of the new benchmark, woot!

Sorry to hear about the mysterious medical issues -- I've had some run-ins with those in the past and find the not knowing the hardest part. But yay for managing to climb a bit anyway! \o/
