Friday glee is going for the onsight

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: Jude Spancken on 'Pretty Girls Make Graves' and onsighting 'Lord of the Flies' (trad climbing in Wales).

I went climbing two days in a row, which did interesting things to my arms. But then it was a mild revelation that the day after that, they...weren't sore, despite how much they'd hurt by about twenty minutes into the second day of climbing. So it feels like I may be improving in stamina/resilience, which is a nice thing to think about when I'm being terrorized by the Killer Wall yet again.
