Lord of the Rings book question (Fellowship)

[Twisted Crow]

Yeah, super important, I know... but I am trying to remember a fact and how a certain part of the story in The Fellowship of the Ring went down. For analogy purposes that I am trying to compare to on a different topic, altogether.

In the book, if I recall, Gandalf deals with some ring wraiths on Weathertop. Gandalf was ahead of Aragorn's party of Frodo, Sam, etc. What I am trying to remember is: Did we the reader get to see Gandalf's encounter or was it done via exposition in Aragorn's party. My copy of this book was damaged, unfortunately.

The flashes of light from the battle are seen by Frodo and company, but Gandalf's battle is described as he reconnects with Frodo at Rivendel.

From The Fellowship of the Ring

"I galloped to Weathertop like a gale, and I reached it before sundown on my second day from Bree-and they were there before me. They drew away from me, for they felt the coming of my anger and they dared not face it while the Sun was in the sky. But they closed round at night, and I was besieged on the hill-top, in the old ring of Amon Sûl.

Thank you! Between not reading it in a while combined with Peter Jackson memory, I couldn't quite remember this bit from the book. All I remembered was that Gandalf fought them up there instead of Aragorn.

Tolkien's very hands off with his action pieces, so it's a pretty good bet you'll hear about it expositionally.
