Can't speak to current conditions, but I personally would not do them in the dark on your first try. There's really only one small section at the very beginning that is somewhat near the edge, but it's not really that big of a deal as long as you don't fling yourself toward the drop-off. The rest is of it is fine.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
- Lyndon Johnson, on signing the Wilderness Act into law (1964)
