Needed to find a plan. After some back and forth we decided on getting this one done. It was a good outing. The weather couldn't make up its mind and there were clouds lingering around all day. Got a tiny bit of precipitation and one low rumble of thunder. This was when we were well on our way back. One would not want to be on that ridge on a full on thunderstorm.
