Looks like mountaineer route is quite demanding. We will conside

final decision is made. We did class 3 scrambling on Mt. Gibbs in Yosemite, but We haven't had any training on rock climbing. thanks for info.

I believe your hu*****and made a right call because lightening and thunder is one of major factors for fatality while hiking on the exposed mountains. I always remember that mountain is always there waiting for me if I cannot make this time.
