I bet you'll remember that trip forever!
What besides being careful to match route to group and that Kelso Ridge can be spicy do you intend for people to take away from your story? I see a few other points briefly mentioned, but let's say someone out there is reading your story and learning from it. What do you want them to learn about storms and lightning? WyomingSummits summed part of that topic up well. What about SAR? What about class 3-4 terrain? Anything you wish you had with you? Did you know your phone would work and would you use it the same way again? I think some messages are there in your report, but could be a bit more clear.
I hope all goes well with you and your girlfriend. I also hope this hasn't soured any progress she was making in the mountains. After all, she completed the route in poor conditions. Overcoming portions of adventures that have gone somewhat awry usually has made strong bonds even stronger in my life, but at the same time, I've also tamed the kinds of activities I tend to try with others who are of a different mindset or less experienced than me. I, too, have worked to overcome a fear of heights so I also have to be careful what situations I put myself in. I don't want to be retrieved deceased at a young age, nor a recipient of these kind of services at any age:
I'm sure SAR was glad to walk you both out absent physical harm as opposed to the worse alternatives they sometimes deal with, but...
Anyway, good luck with your next scramble. Things don't always go smoothly for me, but it all usually turns out fun in one way or another.
