	Voted 10/10	Hmmm .. I'm wondering if the Dude's report on the forum page was completely bogus. He said it was started by lightning .. Do you ever see lightning on ANY of your climbs ???

	Hasn't voted	Oh, definitely. Although Washington does not get as much lightning as most other States, but I have seen my fair share. I have even been chased off of a few mountains because of lightning. But with that said, by living here I tend to pick and choose the places to go based off of the weather forecasts.
