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.

Lots of fun this week :-)

The rain never really went away, so we didn't get much more climbing in. Perhaps unwisely, I elected to lead a route that looked rather similar to the one I fell off the other week, only twice as long, and a grade up! A bit scary, but I got there :-)

I was going to go to Symonds Yat tomorrow, but the forecast has changed to heavy rain, so I fear I may have done all the trad I'm going to this year...

One more 6B last night at the wall :-)

YAY! That's tremendous!
