rydra_wong: Lisa Rands' chalky hands on the sloper on the route Gaia (climbing -- hands)

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: Grit Kids, Hot Aches's 20-minutes film on teenage siblings Katie and Pete Whittaker (back before he was a Wide Boy), climbing hard trad after school. Includes Pete's first ascent of Dynamics of Change (E9 7a), his direct start to Braille Trail, featuring one of the most holy shit moves on grit.

I love the way he's going "top-rope top-rope top-rope" to himself as he does the stupidly-hard climbing miles above his gear - you always feel that top climbers don't get The Fear above their gear...
