Friday glee is distinctly highball

[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: Ned Feehally and co. attempting Andy Earl's route "The Young".

I've climbed once this week, though we took it very easy. My partner managed to drop a concrete block on her hand this week. Yep, the self-destructive climbing partner is at it again! No broken bones, but a lot of bruising, so we climbed easy to give her hand a break.

But it was CLIMBING!

I have glee because I made it to the Peak district for a couple of days, and now have awesome grit rash.

Haha, I have more squee! I was just rewatching this short film about urban climbing in my home town, and I just realized that I recognize the wall at 2:35! I rode by that spot only today and I was thinking how it looked worth checking out. And even better, from the street I didn't even see the part in the back with the openings in the wall. I know what I'm doing tomorrow (barring rain)!
