　　My story is from my college days.One of my geology professors got me involved in mountain climbing.Since he and I climbed at roughly the same pace, we made perfect companions on the trail.On one trip, we hooked up with the Colorado Mountain Club to climb Mount Massive, the second highest mountain in Colorado and fourth highest in the Lower 48 states.

　　The day started out great.It was a beautiful sunny day.The CMC folks decided they wanted to take an “alternate” route up the mountain rather than the established trail.The alternate route was straight up the west (steep) side.CMC is synonymous with mountain goat.Most of these folks scurried up the mountain like most people climb a set of stairs at the mall.Carl and I were a bit slower, quite a bit slower.

　　We made it to the summit(山顶)around noon, feeling like I was a 70yearold man with emphysema.For those who have experienced the joys of the air(or lack thereof) above 14，000 feet, you know what I'm talking about.We sat down and ate lunch admiring the spectacular view along with a half dozen other climbers.By 1：00 we decided it was past time to vacate the top of the mountain.Those familiar with the Rockies know that between 1：00 and 2：00 every afternoon, thunderstorms roll across the mountains.Being 3，000 plus feet above timberline, people are the tallest standing thing and make great lightning rods(避雷针)．Every year several people are killed by lightning in the high country.Just the day before, a climber was killed on Mt.Elbert, the next mountain over, so you can imagine our anxiety.
