Friday glee has the perfect icon for this
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.)

There's nowhere to place any pro further up in the groove, as I understand it -- it just peters out. It's a big (and usually painful) potential fall:

Hey, go you for taking the leader falls on solid pro! I think there's a lot to be said for having the mini-epics and finding that you do have the resources to get yourself out of them.
Btw, I rec Neal's Yard comfrey oil or arnica oil for rubbing into bruised/strained bits (I go for comfrey for strains, arnica for bruises). Actually seems to accelerate healing.
