Friday glee is not going to make any "moon" puns
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: shortly before his 49th birthday, Ben Moon climbed Rainshadow, his second 9a (since his route Hubble -- considered at the time the world's first 8c+ -- is now widely thought to be 9a).
Here's an interview with him about it.
And here's some footage of Steve McClure on Rainshadow.

tricams? Scary...

Sunday: White Streak/Honeysuckle Corner and Dorcon at Craig yr Wrysgan (in the Moelwyns).
If I hadn't found that the tricam would seat itself beautifully in a little slot that would take nothing else, I might still be on top of Craig yr Wrysgan trying to build a belay. I was actually really impressed by how solid it seemed.
