This was an epic day - we started early in the Old Rag parking lot outside of Shenandoah. We got there around 7:30 with about a dozen other cars in the lot. Skies were cloudy and it started to sprinkle almost immediately into the climb. The skies opened as we summited the first ridge and it continued to rain steadily throughout the summit (past 2-3 false summits). Endless rock scrambles all the way to the top. We took a snack break in a couple shelters along the way. Rain picked up and it started to hail - we ran the final 3 miles back to the car. Great hike!
