I spent the night in that very spot...in slings and in the rain! Rough night.

Allen I know the feeling.

Allen that is a terrible place to bivi. Did you even have rain gear?That ledge is not a bad place to re rack and get going. I wouldn't want to do that runout face on the last pitch in the dark or in the rain. I am sure that to staying put until morning was the right choice. So close, yet, so far away!
