Sorry, but starting a climb that you aren't sure you can finish before dark is poor planning in my book.
If you plan for the eventuality then its not poor planning is is?

or bring headlamps
I don't consider this optional in serious long climbs.

Are you kidding me? You don't bring a portaledge for the off chance that you might run out of time.

But most "movin' fast" is a result of poor planning - in climbing, as in all things in life.
No. Moving fast is PART of my planning. If I'm hiking 10 miles from basecamp, climbing 1500 feet, descending in a to be determined fashion and then hiking 10 miles out I want to move fast.
