At the ridgetop I turned left and started toward Jobs, which was in view for the first time today. There were a half dozen paths leading in that direction and I opted for the uppermost.

And closer. Off to the right a thunderstorm was gathering. I'd be dodging them for the remainder of the day.

A massive thundercloud hanging just beyond Freel. (And appearing to be dumping rain somewhere in the vicinity of Luther Pass) The clouds rumbled all day but I never saw any lightening.

This pile of rocks was the highpoint on the summit plateau. Scrambled up the left side.
