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: Dave MacLeod sends his new problem on the Skeleton Boulder, Natural Method, 8B(+?) (link goes to the video on his blog, where he discusses the climb and recovering from severe elbow problems).

Leader falls always look incredibly scary to me. Glad you got yours out of the way!

Huh. Well, maybe if I'd bouldered more. I didn't mind falling when I was bouldering, and I don't fear it when I'm roped. But I also never climbed very high when I was bouldering. My highest fall was only about 6 feet up. Not high at all. Though I did land flat on my back. (grin)

After weeks of very irregular climbing, I'm finally back on the walls regularly again. No astounding feats performed, but I'm still happy to be falling off things.

So, finally, I'm scheduled to climb this evening. My partner thinks her thumb has healed enough. We shall see....

We scheduled twice this week to climb, and both times had to cancel because of events beyond our control - her once, me once.

So the third time will hopefully be charm!

I spent some time actually working a couple of problems (as in, doing things where I was likely to fall off & have to try again, rather than just going up stuff I was confident on), for the first time since last June. (Important not to fall whilst pregnant; then since my 2-month-ish layoff I've been getting the hang of things again.) It was MUCH FUN. Only V2-ish, but MUCH FUN.

YAY! And yes, I can imagine not falling while pregnant would be an excellent idea! (grin)
