Friday glee thinks this is just really pretty

[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: ice climbing on a frozen waterfall at the Cascade de l'Oule in France.

when I tried stepping up on the box-tables they had in the store using very little of my toe I was able to do so using very little of my toe, so they seem nicely stiff and solid and felt tight but not too painful for the time I had them on, which wasn't very long.

I also tried out a pair of Evols in the store but those felt uncomfortably tight and when I went up a half size still felt like they pinched in the toe even though they looked wider than the MadRocks and didn't feel as stable around the ankle so I didn't get 'em.

Sounds like you've got a really good fit for your shoe shape and size, then. Fingers crossed they break in nicely and work well for you!
