My climbing partner and I wanted to get a few hours of practice in, so we headed out to exit 38 Thursday night. We knew we would be coming off the climb in the dark, but I don’t think either of us expected it to be so fun. Once the sun went down it was like climbing in an ocean of dark.
The bright spot in the picture is Clay’s headlamp. He’s building an anchor and about to bring me up. The climb is only a 5.6, but we just wanted to practice a new anchor setup – so it was perfect. I climbed it once in the light, then brought up Clay and hiked off while he built his anchor. So I got to climb it both in the dark and in the light. It was a totally weird and different experience.
