Friday glee is not making a splash

[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: since it's too hot here, have some deep-water soloing.

I recently had a few awesome climbing dreams. :) I mean, really... the stuff I could do in my dream, it felt incredible. Almost like flying!

I went buildering yesterday and climbed some more on my favorite spot... found a great route past the most difficult part. I'm almost ready to try the entire route in one go.

Yay buildering! Is this on the long traverse you're working on?

And yay climbing dreams! As far as I can tell, I stopped having flying dreams after I discovered climbing; now I just have climbing dreams.

Yep, that's the one. Last week I managed the last missing bit twice or so but it was still shaky, something I could only do when my fingers were rested. But now I found (and hopefully memorized) a good route. I'm going to climb that part a few more times to make sure it sticks, and then go back to another shaky section, and then I shall try to do the whole thing in one before the outdoor season is over. Maybe the roomie can film me, she does that sort of thing for her riding lessons.

If you get it filmed, it'd be awesome to see ...
