rydra_wong: Lisa Rands' chalky hands on the sloper on the route Gaia (climbing -- hands)

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: Neil Mawson on the first ascent of Choronzon (E10 7a -- apparently about 8b+, on trad gear).

Some people may recall Neil Mawson from his hideous fall off Meshuga at the start of the film Committed (which I refuse to link to, out of consideration for people who won't be able to stop themselves from clicking against their better judgement, but it's there on YouTube for anyone who wants).

Apparently that put him off hard trad for a while (funny, that), but now he's back and crushing.
