The set of switchbacks in the beginning felt really difficult, all the while clouds began to fill the canyon between the trail and Hunter Peak. By the time I made it over the ridge to see the stunning views of El Capitan, it had already been covered by the dreadful grey. It was worse at the peak which was entirely socked in. The N/NE cleared up on my way back down, leaving just enough cloud to add dramatic shadows on the mountainsides. Awesome.

On the brighter side, El Cap stood clear and mighty on the drive out.
