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.)

One of which was hard enough that I really only just got to the top in that sort of "I'm so pumped I can hardly move, but there's only 1 more hold" way. Which was cool. Then one of the people I was with climbed it and was all "pah, easy", but never mind...

ETA: Posted just before seeing your edit. No \o/ for annoying friends! I've had to ban one of my friends from using the word "easy" altogether ...

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!

I did not finish the 5.9 on the overhang. My best shot at it, I hit a foot spinner and it threw me off the wall in a spectacular swinging arc. Never got as good a shot at it again. (The gym manager was SO kind and came and tightened it so we could keep trying.)
Oh well...
