Checklist Comments:    BBC walk, J. Forbes leader, everyone else was smart enough to stay dry.
Almost sunny to start then raining heavily on the way back down. Up to the peak, circled the summit and attempted to work my way back but ended up bushwhacking almost the entire way down, getting rather soaked in the process (more from the vegetation than the rain I think)
