Friday glee is Oscar-nominated

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: in honour of Free Solo's Oscar nomination for Best Documentary, here's the mini-doc that the co-directors made for the New York Times about the ethical and logistical challenges of making the film.

What If He Falls?

And here they are listening to the nominations being announced:

Four weeks in a row climbing! And I am starting to feel more cheerful about it again. (I really hate the getting-back-up-to-speed feeling, way more than starting-something-out-wholly-new-and-being-rubbish.)

Obviously I have seen Free Solo as per other discussions :) and I have been encouraging OTHER people to see Free Solo too. Might see if d is up for watching Dawn Wall tonight now that they too have seen Free Solo (and v much enjoyed it).
