Friday glee makes it look easy

Climbing? Training? Boosted? Boosted again? Beyond even trying to process what's happening in the world?

What's been bringing you glee of late?

That is not the sort of route I'd be skipping clips on!

I mean, it's steep, so the safest kind of route to skip bolts on -- he's not going to hit any ledges if he falls. And presumably he's been working it for a while, so he knows exactly when it might be a reasonable trade-off to conserve energy by not clipping a particular bolt, at the risk of a bigger fall if he comes off before the next one.
