GLEEEEEE

(Posting early because today's going to be hectic!)

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.

ETA: To enhance the glee, pretty pretty footage of Ines Papert and friends winter climbing in Scotland.

I climbed easy today as my butt is still recovering from a blow when I barn-doored on an overhang. Last Sunday I swung hard to the left and my right ass cheek made serious contact with the metal beam at the top of the big bouldering wall.

Today I did do a new 5.7 route, which was cool, and felt strong. So I'll go back and try the overhang again on Sunday.

So my glee for today was climbing and my butt not aching as much. (grin)
