I got hit in the shoulder with a nice half-fist size chunk, shit hurt. Then ten miinutes later a piece about three times that (oh what do I know I could barely see it) comes like twice as fast and hits my ice axe, good thing I had it leashed. That one actually was a little scarrier.
Anyway, really the scariest part was the lady freaking out instead of just getting down to safety. I finally kicked steps past her and rejoined the main path and we made good progress after that. Still fun as fuck.
