Friday glee is stacking hands, fists, and anything that works

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:

Yikes!! I hadn't even thought of snake. I just keep envisioning my hands slipping, with my feet jammed in the crack... that doesn't seem like a good position to be in.

Yeah, it's amazing.

Though I was climbing in Tennessee last year and a guy jammed his hand in a crack and got stung by a yellow jacket.
