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: David Jones on Dandelion Mind (V14).

No climbing this week or next week. My climbing partner is out of town (the other one still MIA until further notice), and I'm trying to finish a book I'm writing.

So I will live vicariously through you guys until the 18th of October - when my partner returns and she's promised to climb with me for my birthday.

I, too, haven't been climbing in weeks what with one thing or another. Maybe next week :-s

I send you good vibes on that. I know there's no climbing next week either. (sigh)

I've been getting some lead practice in and I'm getting more and more comfortable with clipping and thus can start to concentrate on the climbing part again!

Me too! Lots and lots of practice seems to be helping slowly. Maybe I should hang a quickdraw from the stair-rail or something...

I admire anyone who lead climbs. The very idea terrifies me.

New climbing partner knows how to set routes!

Extra awesome!

I keep watching other people on the wall to see if it will help me figure out how to do routes, but most of them are taller than me (I'm 5'2") and also male (I'm not) so they can all reach holds that I can't without doing something extra. So it's of limited utility and I have to hope to be climbing at the same time as some of the shorter guys that I've seen there or the even less frequent female climbers.
