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: I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but I am in the Peak district and have now actually visited this problem and touched its un-holds with fear and reverence:

Date: 2012-08-03 08:45 am (UTC)I feel like I'm making progress again after a few weeks of going "OMG, how much have I forgotten?"; the strength and stamina aren't what they were, but I feel like my technique is improving (and my inside-leading-head is getting less dreadful).
Also, I did some bouldering with a couple of people at the wall after my usual climbing session, and it was quite good fun.
