disobey_gravityThe 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: shortly before his 49th birthday, Ben Moon climbed Rainshadow, his second 9a (since his route Hubble -- considered at the time the world's first 8c+ -- is now widely thought to be 9a).
Here's an interview with him about it.
And here's some footage of Steve McClure on Rainshadow.

(Incidentally, Dave MacLeod's new book Make or Break is a fantastic resource re: all sorts of climbing-related injuries. I need to write a review for the comm at some point.)
