Friday glee might prefer to miss that appointment

[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: Tom Randall makes the second ascent of the terrifying Appointment with Death, E9 6c. And as a bonus, here's Nathan Lee making the third ascent.

In the midst of house-moving, I went back to a climbing wall I used to frequent a few years back. That was fun, but also convinced me that my current climbing wall is better. I think that's a win...

I'm going to the gym tomorrow morning and brave the birthday party crowd to use the auto-belay. (My rock gym generally has a children's birthday party going on Saturday mornings. You learn to deal with it.)
