Friday glee can't decide between "mantle" and "mantel"

[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: James Morris on Weapon Omega at Flock Hill in New Zealand, demonstrating the horrors of a V12 topout.

I went climbing this afternoon! For the first time in about 2 months (what with the nausea & then the moving house & then the being away).

Sadly am not supposed to go too far *up* (which I am interpreting as "don't go up if you're risking a fall" i.e. pottering around on slab V0s is fine) but there is plenty of along to be had.

Yay climbing! I hope that means the nausea's gone?

Mostly! It recurs intermittently if I'm tired or haven't eaten for ~3 hrs (which is at least fairly easy to deal with :) ) but the constant-all-the-time-I'm-awake-and-upright nausea has worn off.

Unfortunately my climbing trousers don't fit any more... may have to resort to a safety-pin :)
