This is a question Guilty Pleasures, part 2

It's been a while since we last asked this question and CaptainFellatioNelson's confession that he likes "to fart under the duvet, creep in and see how long I can last only on the fart air contained within" reminded us just how good it was last time.

What are the little things you do for fun when nobody else is around?

First Time Poster - Please Be Gentle
Forgive me b3ta, for I have sinned...

My guilty pleasure is taking off for the weekend and going clmibing - a bit bland but I'm a bit of a night-time climber. I love to get to the mountains and, to ensure that I get the mountain to myself, I climb it in the dark.

That's not the guilty bit.

If it's warm enough when I get to the top I'll strip off to my shorts, t-shirt and boots and have a wander round exploring the summit before getting dressed again and walking down.

Even that's *not* the guilty bit.

The guilty bit is that, when I get down, if I'm next to a bit of sea to refresh myself (and normally when the sun's just coming up) I'll strip naked and have a swim.

Why is that a guilty pleasure?
By climbing I assume you mean just walking up a trail. I hope you don't mean actual climbing climbing - doing that in the dark'd be nuts.

Soloing in the dark would be absolute madness...it's a fair bit of madness in the daylight!

Darkness Climbing
Most of the time it's walking / scrambling but I've nightclimbed on ice and snow and have done a couple of rock climbs with head-torch.

If I was doing some mad overhangs in the dark I'd need my head examined!

climbing at night
is cool

LED torchs mess up your depth perception though so stick to a normal petzl zoom etc

rock on!

Petzl Head torches
I used mine at the weekend as an emergency bike light - it was bloody good!

Eh?
Nothing guilty about that, seems perfectly normal to me. Now, getting your kit off on top of a mountain and dancing around *might* be starting to get a bit unusual, but I've seen it done (the view was nothing to write home about) and I know a few who have done it.

Now, being discovered on a mountain top shagging is a bit embarrasing, isn't it G&S? (G is bound to read this)
