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: Urko Carmona: one leg, 8a (warning for mullet).

Excellent :) I was thinking about doing a bit of trad on Saturday, but the weather looks rather inclement.

Alas, my climbing this week has been limited to watching Dave MaCleod DVDs...

I bought myself a harness! (I'll ignore the fact that it is purple for the sake of glee)
And I went climbing twice this week and had a lot of fun, even though the break over New Year's has made me fall back to routes of 5 instead of 6a...

Is it a DMM one? They do a very fine purple harness (one of my partners-in-climbing has one)

Nah, it's Wild Country. And a really nice harness. Just ... purple.

To be fair, if I had a choice everything would be black with very rarely a bright green thrown in so I'm certainly not the best person to judge anything by its colour. *G*

And the harness is very nice and fits well and works perfectly. I'm sure I will learn to ignore the colour...

Ooo, gear! There's nothing like new gear. Sometimes I stand in my gym's shop and just look at gear and daydream!

Joe Browns' shops in Wales are particularly bad for that. Sooo many shiny things!

My partner and I climbed on Monday - unexpectedly. She's been having scheduling problems, so we haven't been able to climb much. So she texted me on Monday that she was free, and we met that night.

We're climbing again this afternoon. We were both really psyched because we were able to climb a new 5.9 neither of us had done before. YAY!
