Default Burning the clutch? How punishing is this?

A few friends and I drove to a party last night in SF, and afterwards we crashed at my friend's house. See... he lives in a neighborhood with the hilliest (real word?) ****ing streets in the world. Anyways, I had to parallel park reversing up a hill. The clutch got burned bad... embarrasingly bad

Anyways, the clutch is relatively new (12K, and a stock replacement... the only thing they could get for me on short notice), and I was wondering how much punishment these things can take. Haven't really smelled anything since I can pinpoint as my car since, but, well, anyone know if I just shaved like 5K miles off the life of my clutch disc?
