Successfully making it through the hard pitches, and only having victory lap pitches ahead of you. Last few hundred feet on Fairview, I'm looking at you.

In a similar vein but smaller scale - getting to the jug after the crux.

Perfect alpine start that gets you to the base and climbing at sunrise, while being first on the wall.

Finding that there's a perfect hand jam over the lip of a roof

A quality beer properly iced down in a cooler after a good climb and long hike out

Wondering if you're lost on the approach and a cairn comes into view

Hey everybody! Eric found a dead horse to beat! Bring your wall hammers!

Beating dead horses gives me the yum.

Ignoring reality gives you the yum.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
