Friday glee has very small hands

[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.

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.

*nods* I haven't found the rubber on mine very durable, but that may be due to my tendency to drag my left toe rather than anything else.

But they are lovely shoes, especially for tiny edges; I can stand on things I just can't with my other (also lovely) shoes.

ETA: Sportiva's website tells me that the Miura lace-ups have different rubber from the velcros, but I don't know how much difference that makes.
