Friday glee is not a Czech schoolboy

[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: 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.

Sounds good! I occasionally get bruises in odd places; I think I sometimes bash myself while climbing and don't notice at the time...

I'm used to bruises on legs and arms, but this one definitely came from one of the harness leg loops, being in a place that definitely doesn't come into contact with the wall. It was rather impressive. (Possibly falling from the same hold five times in quick succession did it.)

I always get bruises in odd places. I definitely bash myself without noticing, but I also bruise ridiculously easily anyway.

I've always bruised pretty easily (and have pale skin so it shows), but now I'm on meds that have taken it straight from "odd bruises" to HOLY FUCK DID SOMEONE BEAT YOU ABOUT THE SHINS WITH AN IRON BAR.

It's a little embarrassing sometimes.
