Omg it's getting dark, run children run.
Ok, calm down its just getting dark no one is going to suddenly dissappear or some weird type of boggat type critters appear in the moon light.
So we had an idea a few weeks ago, let's climb in the dark at our local crag. It makes sense as there is so little light available in the evening and you are limited to the amount of routes you can do, or are you.
No is the answer, I'll be honest with you the routes just get better. We ran routes we've climbed time and time again in past sessions, but due to the light it was as if we had never been on the crag before.
Climbing by torch light puts a whole new prospective on things, holds,foot placements even down to were you place you gear. We climbed low grade routes which felt higher than normal, as you had to concentrate were you placed your hand ready for you feet moving up into placements you couldn't see.
We climbed well into the night with an enthusiasum for more, by 8oclock it was well dark and time for home. All in all we climbed around 5 routes which felt brand new.
Time for home,next session TBA. If you fancy a bit of night climbing get in touch or goto our web site.
