Climber hit by Lightning - Pierces Pass 3-Jan-2011 At 12:44:29 PM Isildur
Message
The climbers in question are friends of mine, and while they're young, they're not just "Gym numptys" as you've put it Sonic. I know that they're reasonably good climbers, and were fairly well prepped for the climb. They've both had a fair amount of outdoor experience.

I don't know the full details yet, as I haven't heard from them since they called me last night at about 8:10pm, so I'm not going to comment and add speculation as to why they were still stuck on the climb so late, but I'm just glad that they're OK and able to get out sometime today when the weather lets up (although the system moving in now is pretty big).

I'm even more glad that they haven't been seriously injured or killed like the last two accidents in the previous week.
