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.
To enhance this week's glee: Joe Brown is getting a CBE!
If you haven't heard of Brown, Jim Perrin describes him as "the most significant figure in British climbing's post-war epoch, and perhaps the major character in the entire history of the sport." Also quoth Perrin: "Basically he's a tricky little fucker."
Hope everyone has a great New Year's Eve, and may the new year be full of climbing happiness for us all!
