Best Climbing Experience

Getting back on rock (3 months after dislocating my ankle (fracturing my leg and foot in 3 places) in a fall) and climbing, being unbelievably scared but still managing to finish the route...it was only a diff and I peppered it with gear!!! Climbing and living on and exploring a glacier for 6 days in Arctic Norway and walking point every day, especially through the crevase fields. Cneifon arete on a beautiful day in May... My first outdoor route (little chamonix). The VD on ampitheatre Wall (Carneddau) and doing the last pitch in the dark. Dropping into the wrong gully coming off Tryfan, and ending up ab'ing out. Climbing at Wintours leep... Doing St Sunday crag (Pinnacle Ridge) on the mountain film festival weekend 08, beautiful route until the snow/sleet/hail driven by the wind decended as we topped out... I think my best experiences aren't necessarily because they were hard routes, but because the people I was with. I even class some of my major epics as best climbing experiences; I've learnt important things from each one and I seem to look back on them with some halarity. Recently...teaching my (non climbing) friends how to belay, rig top ropes, abseil and lead...loving it!
