disobey_gravityThe 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: Jude Spancken on 'Pretty Girls Make Graves' and onsighting 'Lord of the Flies' (trad climbing in Wales).

Date: 2011-09-16 12:19 pm (UTC)My favorite part starts at 3:30, climbing on some tower in Vienna... pretty spectacular, it looks like so much fun!
(Not quite as spectacular: I just climbed a tree to pick pears. :)

Date: 2011-09-16 07:10 pm (UTC)They're my first technical shoes - meaning that for the first time I have to take them off when I'm not climbing - but they don't hurt that much when I'm climbing, which I was slightly afraid off.
