Friday glee is not a Czech schoolboy

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: Adam Ondra does his Adam Ondra thing, onsighting an 8c+ sport climb in Spain. Notable for the fact that he actually has to stop and think at one point.

*pretends she didn't stalk this comm for tips where to go*

Oh, who am I kidding, I've been to the Castle so far and want to try the Arch next week. Which ... are pretty much the places that get talked about here the most *G*

FWIW, Mile End (very big) and the Reach (smallish but nice bouldering section, with a top-out boulder) are also good, and I've heard good things about the Westway though never been.
I've written those down now and will investigate. Maybe I'll even get around to writing up the experiences at some point.

Also on my list, XC close to my work.
I'll never run out of places to climb at, that's for sure :)
