Friday glee feels much better on rock

[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: Australian climber Monique Forestier climbs 8b and discusses climbing while pregnant and as a new mum.

I went climbing! Twice!

Also, today I was very sensible and did not do a couple of moves I was uncertain of (since right atm I really must not fall). This pleased & reassured me, because earlier in the week I just didn't hit anything that triggered that, and I was a bit worried that my perception of my ability was off & that I was taking too many risks.

Am impressed that Monique Forestier was climbing straight through her first trimester of pregnancy -- I felt far, far too rough to do anything of the sort. Possibly if I'd made myself go it might have helped, I guess... (At least am feeling better now!)

Also, yay for the traversing wall!

Yay traversing! And yeah, it's always good to feel that your risk-perception is correctly calibrated.
