Headlights for crocs

I have seen photo evidence of someone prussicing up a pitch in Crocs with panting attached 🧐. Maybe Crocs will be the new best shoes for caving

They are good value, Crocs. At a rough estimate my wife has got 60,000 hours of use out of the ones she bought in 2006.

Could you bolt a pantin onto the ‘sports mode’ strap for security do you reckon then can fold it out the way when you don’t need it

I know a crocs fanatic, been walking with him and he wears them almost everywhere. When we went to gaping gill I only just managed to talk him out of wearing his crocs saying he happily uses them with a pantin attached, ascending trees. Despite me bringing my son's wellies for him to borrow (same size, my son has big feet) he insisted on wearing some sort of canoeing wet socks with "grippy" rubber dots instead, which meant we couldn't cross mud hall as he was "ice skating" and going ar5e over tip as soon as we got near the mud. I think he'll never wear wellies from now till the day he dies.

To be fair to him, until that point these tread less canoe things or crocs would've been ok for him while it was still rock. It takes all sorts to make the world go round and the crocs fanatics are certainly different/special people.
