disobey_gravityThe 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: in this video, an elderly mathematician takes a little gentle exercise in a park. Not quite holding a front lever any more -- but then, he is 75 and has severe shoulder arthritis.
John Gill, people.

Date: 2013-02-15 12:23 pm (UTC)I have glee because even though the weather keeps being awful, I went outdoor climbing twice this week in zero degree temperature and found a pretty demanding route on the underside of a playground structure that I plan to explore once the ground dries up again.
And I went slacklining yesterday and found that my five-finger Vibram shoes work great on the slackline. Again, looking forward to doing it when the ground is not wet...
And, I'm still really happy with my new door frame pull-up bar. :)
All in all not a bad week for a dreary winter month.

Yes, it sounds like you've got your winter training well under control!
