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.
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: James Morris on Weapon Omega at Flock Hill in New Zealand, demonstrating the horrors of a V12 topout.

I need to have a proper look at it, but I know that in the past I've got a lot out of working problems that are out of my league and seeing how much of them I can do, even if I never send them.
