Friday glee now knows what a 9a slab looks like
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: here's Adam Hocking's fantastic short film about James MacHaffie's first ascent of the Meltdown, Johnny Dawes's legendary unfinished project in the slate quarries (see report here).

I'm hoping to get some Friday night climbing in. I had to cancel Wednesday because I was meeting with a woman whose book I edited. (sigh)

We took a couple of friends who haven't climbed in years to the wall, and everyone had fun. Also, they're in the middle of re-setting a pile of routes, so there will be new things to play with next week...

I got yesterday's post up shortly before piling into a minibus, and am currently connected to the net through a Heath Robinson arrangement that makes dial-up look speedy ...
But! We are very near rocks!
I hope you got your Friday climbing.

If you need, I'll be happy to post next Friday. I'm in the USA, so 6 hours later than you, but I'll happily post if there's nothing up when I get up that morning.

I've never done any trad climbing. I've also never done any lead roping. I'm fascinated by it, but I don't quite climb well enough to trust myself to do it - yet.
