The Friday post of glee is where you get to tell us about your climbing-related happiness this week.

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. Members are encouraged to cheer each other on and share the squee.

To enhance this week's glee: James MacHaffie vs. The Quarryman groove, providing some excellent demonstrations of the key climbing verb "to thrutch".

For context, the slate is entirely frictionless except on those little knife edges. You can see the Quarryman sent by first ascentionist Johnny Dawes in Stone Monkey (whence the Zappa), and by Pete Whittaker in Welsh Connections.
