Friday glee admires and fears the citizens of Stolby in Siberia

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: Stolby winter bouldering. Some context here.

And yes, that's the same Stolby with the local tradition of mass free soloing (Note: contains discussion of witnessing a solo-ing fall.)

YAY! for new routes!

Also, what's easy for one is hard for another. There's a 5.9 I struggle with, but my partner does easily. It just falls into her skill set better than mine. So never mind, indeed!
