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.
To enhance this week's glee: this fabulous half-hour silent film about Sheffield climbers in the 1940s. Admire the skills and nerve it took to climb with hemp ropes and tricouni-nailed boots! Ogle the beautiful gritstone! Speculate on why the film keeps cutting back to that supercilious-looking ram!

And I'd decided anyway that I really need to work on developing power-endurance, so ...

I'm really enjoying having big projects right now.
