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

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've been to the climbing wall in my new town twice now! I really need a local climbing partner.

I may try to convert a coworker, too. (I'm a brand-new professor, and the local wall is just that: a handful of top-rope routes set up in the corner of the university gym. Finding new climbers is easy-- finding new climbers who aren't my potential students is a little trickier.)

I send good vibes that you find a partner. I advertised for one, and also got the gym manager looking. Finally I found the perfect partner!
