Friday glee is going for the onsight

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

I've been away with no chances to climb, so no glee from me. Lord of the Flies is the first climbing route I knew the name of, back when I was a kid and did a week's climbing course in Wales. I watched (from a rather easier route!) someone working up that blank wall of rock, and it's an image that's always stuck with me, even though I suspect I'll never be good enough to climb E6 6a. Awesome climbing.

We can dream!
