Friday glee thinks it's definitely winter

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: New Hampshire climber Bayard Russell is introduced to the idiosyncrasies of Scottish winter climbing by Nick Bullock and Guy Robertson (and by "introduced to" I mean "traumatized by").

Do we have any winter climbers in the comm?

I don't even mind the cold so much, but that rock looks reaaaally untrustworthy and slippery with all the snow and ice.

I actually found I like winter quite a lot when the temperature drops below freezing, like we enjoyed until today: zero chance of rain that way!
