I was fishing off those rocks at the intake of Cirque Lake.  I had been looking down, untangling a rat's nest if leader for 15 minutes or so.  I finally succeeded and looked up to see a thunderstorm barreling down on me from the east.  I scurried back to camp in intermittent rain.  A short time later heavy rain started, turning to wind-driven hail.
