Like al78, my most frightening experience was abroad, in Bulgaria. The local guide wanted us over the summit before lunch, but one of the clients a forceful headmistress and erstwhile leader with the same company, persuaded our first time British leader that we wanted to have lunch earlier as "people" (i.e. her, because she had no time to train) were tired and needed food. We met the most ginormous sttorm on top, peoples' hair was standing on end. Our leader said he felt he had been whacked on the head with a baseball bat, and I ended up going far too fast down the side. ending up in a heap searching for my asthma inhaler. We should have listened to the local, but I don't know if he even knew the correct words.
