“Instinctively dropping on my knees, I gripped an angle of the rock, curled up like a young fern frond with my face pressed against my breast, and in this attitude submitted as best I could to my thundering bath. …The situation was quickly realized. How fast one’s thoughts burn in such times of stress!” (Muir 52).
