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: 18 minutes of unsung hero Charlie Woodburn* on "Do You Know Where Your Children Are?", E8 6c on the Pembroke sea cliffs (and I found this before UKclimbing.com did, dammit).
{*Charlie Woodburn created Harder Faster, the direct finish to the already-terrifying Gaia. Neil Gresham wrote that, after trying it on top-rope, "we came away with the feeling that a friend of ours had done something really, really bad. As the relatives always say with hindsight, 'If only we'd realized, we have tried to talk him out of it, or at least called the police.'"}

If everything goes well, I'll go toproping this weekend, too. *fingers crossed*
