YIKES!Shocked

i'll second that. I've been around serious lightning storms enough times to say I've had enough. Those suckers can come in fast, hard, and are no fun! Got caught in one years ago at Tahquitz that had the hair on my arms and legs standing on end despite being completely drenched from the rain. Believe it or not, it wasn't the thunder and lightning that scared me the most, it was the smell of the air.

No thanks. I'm strictly a fair weather climber these days.
