Virga, rain, cloudsuck - how close do you get?
One important point, learned the hard way. You don't want to push over to 110 knots, still climbing like crazy, push to VNE, still climbing and clouds approaching, and THEN want to open the spoilers. Obviously you don't want to jam open the spoilers at VNE, too many wings have fallen off that way. And if you pull back to a sensible speed, you gain 2000' in the zoom. Pull the spoilers while still sensibly away from the cloud! In my case, I was lucky enough to not go in to the cloud, but others have not been so lucky.
