More rain was scheduled for Saturday and Sunday and Rocklands was getting lonely.  Most of the climbers were escaping their soggy tents and heading to (or were already in) Cape Town for the weekend.  Our spirits were anything but psyched.  And to make matters worse (for him, anyway), I had developed the habit of calling Paul \u201cPeg Leg\u201d because of his straight-legged limp.
