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).

emperor: Me and my trad gear (trad)

As promised, how to protect cracks with trad gear.

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...

Cool video. Thanks!

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.
