Friday glee is lost in a sea of granite

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: a mini-film on the first all-woman ascent of El Cap, by Sibylle Hechtel and Bev Johnson in 1973 (note: contains a rather detailed verbal description of the sound of someone falling to their death).

I reconnected with a former climbing partner, and we're going to try to climb together sometime in the future at the small climbing gym here. He doesn't have a car, so he hasn't been able to go there and climb. So I will pick him up and we will go together. We hope to do it sometime in November.
