John a solid roll will definatly be needed for this because having to do rescues on the Glens in the dark would suck!

Unless it drops off a good bit I'd say it would be too high to be doing a night run, unless we only did top drop
Also probably are a bit too tight on time tonight

Pretty sure it would be far too high even for top drop at the moment!

There's not going to be much of an eddy there at the moment, getting out of the water after could be pretty sketchy!

Me and ethan heading out to top drop tonight. John is dropping his lights off to the BH at 6:30. We may also purchase a high power torch.

Has anyone else got battery powered lighting and wants to join me and ethan?
