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: Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker demonstrate their unhealthy love for offwidth cracks.
N.B. Feel free to post your glee in the comm on any day of the week. The Friday post is just to get the ball rolling.

Apparently Harrisons Rocks is also walkable from Eridge station, so I think that's going to be my next bit of exploration.
Actually I should probably make a whole 'nother post here about bouldering amts, shouldn't I?
Yup! Then you can get advice from people who are not me as well. *g*
I have a DMM Highball which I was given as a birthday present a couple of years back; it's very solid but rather unwieldy, and probably overkill for the sort of bouldering I do at the moment.
Looks like this thread has some useful advice:
