 How about no lights and after sunset for a standard.
Causing trouble when not climbing.

Been there and done that. It's a long story, but suffice it to say my partners and I were stuck in the dark atop Toog after an ascent of Toog's Terror and the direct finish of Toog's Gallery. I know that summit and managed to set up an anchor and rappel by feel, even though it was darker than the inside of a cow in Machete's shadow. My partners finished up the direct finish by feel and rapped (belayed!) to the trail. Among them was youngest son Jon, eleven at the time. We crept down the trail like a Rhumba line, following the only guy who wore a white tee. Jon wasn't bothered at all, but I was in the doghouse with his mom.
