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:

Are you sure she didn't just do it tripping over the cat, and is just trying to construct stories so implausible you won't think to question them? :-)

Yeah, I'm sure. She gets injured in the most bizarre ways. Since I've been climbing with her, she stabbed herself in the hand with a kitchen knife (required stitches), cut the tip of her thumb off (required surgery to reattach and there's now a pin in the bone), and now jumped from a tree with her scuba gear on and banged up her knee.

She's a danger to herself.
