At the end of the day, we all met, tired but happy, for some tea and cookies, and to comment on the problems. We started to relax and share experiences and anecdotes. By 8:00 PM, we saw the light of a small reflector in the distance, slightly illuminating a rock. No one understood what was happening, and a few minutes later, the organizers announced the nocturnal event, a 6a night boulder which became a 6c due to the lack of light.

The idea of the organizers was not only to propose problems with a more complex level, but also to wake up the climbers and make them discover new ways to perform on the rocks. For this reason, the climbers had to use a lot of initiative to solve such a problem, that was easy enough in broad daylight.

Once the “secret” of the night event was spread around, the organizers still had an Ace under their sleeves. The participants, under the scarce light conditions, had to solve a Dynamic in the same wall. This was presented as another challenge to the climbers. Who very enthusiastically tried to solve it several times.

Climbing at night with such a large group of people and endless problems left many participants overwhelmed by Vertigio Club's endeavor.

As if it was not already enough, after some moments of “free time”, dinner was ready. This was not a normal camp dinner, many were surprised with a sausage and meat barbecue that broke all the schemes.

To end with a “golden brooch” one of our greatest days, we started the projection of pictures and movies from last years event. It did not seem we were in the middle of nowhere at 4000 meters, but the very cold night with a full moon, became warm and the party unbelievable.

The only thing left to say is that the 2008 Bloqueando was an astounding success.
