Friday glee has very small 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.

To enhance this week's glee: Ashima Shiraishi is more hardcore than you. Note: she's recently sent Chablanke (V11/12). Aged 9.

I would like to be her when I grow up.

I'm celebrating the return of the outdoor bouldering season. And I discovered a website which marks interesting buildering spots in my home town. This is my favorite (I discovered that spot on my own). It's a fake!ruin which used to be part of the old zoo and housed owls; it's made of sandstone and it's perfect for climbing.

I'm currently working on a route round the structure... I have managed 1/3 so far, but the remaining parts are difficult! Lots of challenges. :)
