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

Last night, though, I finally worked myself up to try some 5.10- routes; I've been on the eights and most nines for a while, but I have surgery coming up in a couple weeks and will be off the walls for at least three weeks, and I decided I was going to climb a ten before that happened.
I am now bruised and scraped and sore, and entirely failed to get more than halfway up any of the pitches I tried, but I am pretty sure that if I start when I'm still fresh, instead of waiting until I'm starting to get tired, a minus is in reach, and if I pick the right one, maybe even a plus. Woot.

New wall was fun; it will not replace the Arch in my heart, but it has scary high top-outs, which I know I need to work on.
