  • You repel down in the dark? Wow!

  • Luckily no rappelling involved. Just walking down granite slabs with our headlamps. You can barely see the shape of the dome at the upper left and some distant mountains at the upper right. Rappelling in the dark can be really slow / dangerous or impossible especially if you've never rappelled before. We had some friends who spent a night on a wall waiting for sunlight so they could see the next pair of rappel bolts (after searching all night in the dark (with headlamps!) without success.
