Friday glee has rolled-up jeans

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: Jordan Buys on Cry Freedom, 8b+

It's not as impossible as it looks like. Still tricky because there are so many details to think of within such a short period of time, but once you know what common mistakes to avoid it becomes a lot easier.

I found this tutorial very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNNEhjxg-w0
(except they say to put the foot waist-high; most tutorials say hip-high which I find much easier.)

There are a couple more YT tutorials like this one.
