Friday glee is not entirely convinced by that mat arrangement

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: Ryan Pasquill onsights James Pearson's route "Power of the Darkside" as a highball boulder problem, then gets his finger stuck in the roof. Featuring the mat stylings of Dan Varian.

I ended up going top-rope climbing instead of bouldering, and completed a higher grade course than before! I'm not sure if I went 5.7 -> 5.8, or 5.8 -> 5.9, but either way it was a higher grade than the lowest they offer in the gym. It feels like progress!
