Friday glee is going deeper

[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: bouldering legend Fred Nicole, doing his thing.

MIIIIIIIINA

Mina Leslie-Wujastyk has climbed Mecca (French 8b+ -- the Rockfax conversion guide makes this a 5.14a).

UKClimbing.com report with photos (no video yet):

Mina's ascent of Mecca is the first of 8b+ by a woman on British soil, and makes Mina the second British woman to climb 8b+ after Lucy Creamer's ascent of Kalea Borroka in Spain back in 2009.
