Friday glee has the perfect icon for this

[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: Alex Honnold, who appears to have been born without a nervous system, flashes 'Gaia'. Rather charmingly, Honnold insisted that this didn't count as an onsight as he'd seen Hard Grit on TV a while ago.

(Note: icon is of Lisa Rands's hands on the crucial sloper.)

Wow. Everyone's doing exciting things! I have only climbed once this week, but I did a 5.8 that I find particularly difficult because the first left foothold is at the height of my head when I stand on the floor and look at the route! (I'm 5'7".)

Beyond that, I'm still enjoying having a regular climbing partner. This week she bought her gear - harness, shoes, chalk bag - so that she will no longer have to rent.

Yay for the conquest of difficulties and for having a regular partner!

And another person falls to the addiction ... *g*
