rydra_wong: Lisa Rands' chalky hands on the sloper on the route Gaia (climbing -- hands)

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.

Whoooaa. I am a physicist and when you pointed out the straight-arms thing, the force-body diagram popped into my head and said "oh, duh". It'd especially help with keeping feet on small holds by pushing into the wall rather than only down! Gorgeous.

Thank you for the comm links! I'm definitely adding them.

I love corner climbs! I can get my feet implausibly high, and push straight against the two walls, and then let go with both hands! It makes me feel like a Real Climber :-)
