Friday glee and Angie Payne

[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 a new climbing wall is opening near your house 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 this week's glee: Angie Payne talks about recovering from injury and sends a V12.

N.B. Feel free to post your glee in the comm on any day of the week. The Friday post is just to get the ball rolling.

This just arrived in the mail:

My friends gave me a voucher for a training board for my birthday, and I found this baby at an online store, for a very decent price I think. I can't wait to try it out. Of course first I have to get it mounted to the wall somehow...

I have glee because I GOT A V5.

It's only my second V5 ever, and my first since my epic hospitalization in 2009.

Like the previous one, it's kind of a statistical outlier -- a problem that happened to play to all my strengths. But it means a lot to get it, and it was a gorgeous problem.

And I'm knocking down more and more V4s, including some that really aren't my style (overhanging power problems).

Still gleeful about my new wall, what is mine. Went to have a look at the site today. Super super excited.

I climbed with Fred yesterday and had a really good day of climbing. It was cold enough that we had to wear our hoodies while we climbed, but still, it was great. For the first time in weeks, I felt strong, and fit, and climbed smoothly. Also, no hip pain! YAY!

Bit of a cheat, as this was Saturday's session, but that was the second session this week, and I lead my first 6a :-)
