Friday glee clips the chains

[rydra_wong]

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: Muriel Sarkany becomes the fourth woman to climb 9a, on PuntX last year.

I climbed last weekend and last night. I didn't climb particularly well last night. I've had a long week (including one 12 hour day at work that was just hideous), but I was climbing.

Lior, my new partner, is great. While I will miss London, I have to admit that Lior is a blast.

Hurrah for new partners :)

[wpadmirer]

Yep, it's great. I'm SO lucky!

[rydra_wong]

Yay Lior! Glad he's continuing to be good!

[wpadmirer]

Lior is the new woman partner. Adam is the new guy partner. Though I don't know if I'll get to climb much with Adam anymore. He has found a new partner. We shall see....

Whoops, sorry about the memoryfail.

[wpadmirer]

I think I wasn't clear about who was who, rather than you failing to remember.

I have glee because I booked a place on a Plas y Brenin course to start learning some basic trad skills.

If they have an open place, that should be the week after next.

I admire you. Trad climbing scares the bejesus out of me!
