Friday glee is in awe of AlexHonnold!cat
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: this cat is more hardcore than you.
Also, potentially relevant to people's interests:
the_great_outdoors is a new comm for anyone doing outdoors stuff: hikers, campers, skiers, kayakers, geocachers, etc. -- and climbers are specifically included. Might be of interest for anyone who's trying to climb outside more (especially since outdoor climbing obviously often involves hiking and/or camping in order to get to the climbing).

The thing is, having multiple camera angles, having a good soundtrack, having a good editor, those all make a big difference in being able to make something exciting. If all you've got is one or maybe two camera angles to work with, it's a lot harder to string together a narrative that's exciting to an untrained eye. Of course you, can take the time to provide context, but that takes time. But if you have those other things, honestly, I honestly believe it's ought to be perfectly doable to make a perfectly sane (or at least, one that shows all normaly, sensible precautions taken) climb exciting as hell, even in a short credits sequence.
But... that wouldn't really be Mission: Impossible. (I mean, aside from setting the tone of ridiculous for the movie, I think it's totally relevant characterisation that Cruise's character is actually deranged enough to pull that nonsense. *g*)

Oh no, you didn't, the cameraman did -- I was responding to that. And generally thinking aloud.
