Notes on using a petrol powered lantern for night bouldering sessions :
- You will also need a head torch
- They get hot
- Dont put them where the exhaust gases can only escape past where you are climbing - i.e. at the back of Ben's roof.
It goes dark at about 1940 at the moment. After work peak action is now becoming the stuff of lantern only missions, and really it should be reasonable - certainly its colder, but there was absolutely no breeze last night and conditions didnt feel as good as they should have done.
Both Ed Robinson and chap who I'm sure is called Simon did Ben's Roof by headtorch but I kept standing on the wrong thing and being unable to bear the skin pain so didnt. Was nice to be out but I shouldnt really have gone - felt knackered.
Oh, and... the tor has major patches of seepage. The RHS is soaked, massive patches of seepage on Revelations, right of pinches wall etc etc.

V breezy and cool at Burbage North last night. The sloper on Blind Date felt surprisingly good, though a small fern had grown in the break. The Grit season is here!
