Lean-to on trail just beyond the pass

We're caught in a rainstorm up on the ridge. Fortunately, there is a small shelter up here that seems to be pretty waterproof. Also caught up here are Carol and Wayne, who are out hiking with two llamas, named Pahlone and Obllama. The climb out after lunch started off OK, and got progressively steeper. Towards the top, the trail was almost unhikeable, absolutely the steepest section of trail we've encountered. We are waiting out the storm, hoping to get to the end of the section tonight.
