Friday glee is out on the slate again

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: To The Rainbow, the 15-minute documentary about Paul Pritchard's return to the Rainbow Slab in the Dinorwig slate quarries, fourteen years after devastating head injuries (I wrote about it here).

The fact that it's on Vimeo in its entirety is possibly a massive copyright violation, but it's been put there by Pritchard's co-star, Johnny Dawes. Whose book is awesome.

That is COOL. I got so excited the first time I did this that I was hooping and hollering in the gym. They thought I'd hurt myself. (grin)

My climbing partner and I grabbed our mobiles and took pictures.
Everyone else thought we were mental but we didn't care. Hanging upside down like a sloth and not falling off warrants a bit of crazyness :D

Crazy or not, I agree pictures are warranted!
