  "On the outside" means "from the point of view of an external observer".
In other words, someone far away from the influence of the black hole,
looking at the falling clock.

  The observer who falls into the black hole *with* the clock will
perceive it normally. (Well, relatively speaking. Let's forget for
a moment the space-warping.)

  From the outside perspective.

  The observer who is falling into the black hole does experience the
crossing.
