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: Alex Puccio bouldering in Hueco Tanks 2012

hehe, maybe. Or perhaps weekend afternoons spent half-way up a cliff!

Oooo, harnesses! I have a good harness, but I'd love to get another one. Just 'cause. (grin)

Last weekend I ran a readers' and writers' conference called Daddy's Girls' Weekend, so there was no climbing in my weekend.

But Monday I was back and climbing! Then again on Wednesday!

However, my climbing partner called me yesterday to say she'd cut off the tip of her thumb in a "farming machine" accident! OH NO! (She lives on a farm outside of town and has many, many animals.)

So she's had surgery and is now in a sling, so it's going to limit our climbing for a while!

Yep, same partner. She's a danger to herself!

I went climbing! For the first time since Leon was born (actually for the first time since about 4 wks before that, so I've been off for 10 wks). L obligingly slept in the sling on my partner for long enough for me to get about 40 min of climbing in, so I zoomed round about half of the black easy circuit before I got knackered :)

it was *awesome* to be back. Am hoping to be able to go about weekly for the next little while.

That is *awesome*. If I ever get to the stage of being able to do pull-ups I will give it a go :)

(There was an article I read somewhere about someone who does top-roped outdoor climbing with her baby on her back, but that wouldn't really work with bouldering, sadly, given how often I land on my back.)

Other source of yay: the Biscuit Factory is *fabulous*. So much space!

Yes, found it just at the end of my session! It'll be nice for d (my partner) to sit in while he's minding the baby, too. (It's a shame they don't have wifi, or he could bring his laptop & get some work done & might be up for staying a bit longer...). It is very nice -- I liked the sofas & the little pinpoint lights.

YAY! And that's a lovely cooperative baby you have!
