My glee: I went climbing. Only the once, but I went! Right now this is a bit of an achievement all by itself. Also, while there, I solved a problem that had been baffling me. It turned out to be physically pretty straightforward -- though involved using a corner (bother have lost the correct word) of wall as a hold, which I used to be rubbish at and therefore am pleased whenever I do it now -- but I'd been starting from completely the wrong position.
After that I went up it twice, just for fun :)
Also there are some nice bridge-y / lever-y problems in the corner of the 5% slope in the new front room at the Arch, which I am enjoying.
