Arriving at the base of the outcrop, and welcome solid rock.  Three years ago at this same point in the climb, a thunderstorm rolled in from the west.  Lightening was flashing all about, accompanied by crashes of thunder.  I was pelted with hail.  I did not dare stop to put on my mountain parka.  One of the most frightening experiences I can recall in the mountains!
