Friday glee had to go with this one

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: Hot Aches are posting a series of epic first ascent clips from their films, starting with the young Pete Whittaker on Dynamics of Change, a.k.a. "that one with the rockover, OMFG".

Cool video. There's no way I could make that move where his leg is up over his shoulder height above his hand! EGADS!

And I'm still gym-less. And I live in a flat state with no natural climbing. WOE!

I've seen that clip before, but still. It's absurdly hard and fscking dangerous!
