Fridy glee is projecting

[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: apparently Angie Payne has finally triumphed over her nemesis project, Freaks of the Industry (V13). No footage yet, so here she is on a previous project, European Human Being (V12).

Last Sunday my partner and I went climbing. She's been in training in another city, so we're only getting to climb one day a week for three weeks. So by Sunday, I was really excited about climbing.

I climbed a hard 5.10 that my 21 year old partner couldn't climb! Then I climbed a difficult 5.8 that had a crux move I'd never made. Finally I climbed a brand new 5.8 that had incredibly high feet, also one that my 21 year old partner could not climb.

HA! I ROCK [climb] at 60!

We had the best weekend in Wales, and one of the people I went with did their first lead(s) :-)

I did (lead/alt lead) 7 routes in 2 days, and only got a little bit sunburned!

Sounds fantastic! 7 routes in 2 days is a lot of climbing.

Nice work! Where did you end up going?

Craig Y Tonnau on Saturday, and Tryfan Fach on Sunday (for the first-leads).
