Closed orbits are impossible though, all test particles finish at the singularity in a finite amount of proper time.

It is the point at which nothing, no matter how fast or massive, can possibly return from the gravitational pull. For instance: light, traveling at the speed of light in a vacuum, cannot escape once it has crossed the event horizon; it's pulled inevitably inward.

Not quite what you seem to be asking, but the event horizon is the point where[0] the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light; the orbital velocity at that distance is greater (by a factor of ln 2 IIRC, so v_orbital ≈ 1.44c). There's a more distant distance, called the innermost stable orbit or the photon sphere, where the orbital velocity is equal to c (so photons will orbit if you emit them tangentially at this height), but the escape velocity is only ~0.69c.

0: It's not quite right to say that that's because the escape velocity is equal to c, though.
