Friday glee is going old school (again)

[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: John Cunningham climbing Ben Nevis in 1976.

I /nearly/ got my project route. Nearly! Maybe next week...

YAY! You'll get it! There is something really special about completing a project you've worked on.

I went and did the auto-belay on Sunday last week. I know I said I wasn't going to climb, but Sunday night as I was watching hockey with Pat, he turned to me and said, "Why don't you go climb tomorrow?" That man knows me so well. So 90 minutes on the auto-belay was completed. I came home sore and happy.

I know that feeling :)

Isn't it wonderful?

Do I ever know that feeling

[wpadmirer]

It's so nice to have a place to share that and people understand!

My new shoes have worked well so far (but do need a few more sessions to soften the top of the heel so it doesn't cause blisters any more).
And I actually managed to go climbing at all. This week, I'll count this as an achievment and thus: glee.

Definitely glee!
