Friday glee is admiring Lynn Hill's arm muscles

[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 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.

N.B. Please feel free to post your glee on any day of the week; the Friday glee is just to get the ball rolling.

To enhance this week's glee: Lynn Hill talks about climbing and demonstrates at the Coeur d'Alene Kroc Center.

I got the V4 roof problem I've been working on for weeks! Really hard for me because I have very limited stamina, but it was such a fantastic problem (full-on toe-hooking w00t!) and I finally managed to link it.

I pushed myself and went to a wall I've only visited once before (Mile End, where they have a few terrifying highball walls which probably contravene all the health and safety regs -- how they get away with it, I have no clue, though I'm sort of glad they do).

And the summer bouldering comp at my favourite favourite wall is coming up! I am training intensively to run around and squee.
