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 climbing in Yosemite, talking about focus and body position when setting up for moves.

And apparently Hazel Findlay has just sent Golden Gate (5.13b) on El Cap.

That's great progress. I had to give up bouldering because at my age, I'm just not bouncing all that well any more. (grin) So I'm sticking to sport climbing which is easier on the shoulders, and on which the falls are always caught by the rope. (grin)

I prefer climbing with a rope, but between the gym with all those routes not being on a bus route, and the difficulty of matching schedules with a partner... Bouldering it is!

I totally get that. I'm very lucky that my gym is close to where I live and I was able to find a reliable partner!
