2、 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 e

3、stablished 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, fe

4、eling 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 Im 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

5、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

6、 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.We could see the thunderheads building to the west, ready to seek out their hapless prey(猎物)It was time to get the heck off the top of the mountain fast.On

7、e climber opted (选择) to boot ski down the snowcovered east cirque.I didnt think it was a great idea but he quickly made it to the bottom some 2，500 feet below in mere seconds.Seemed like a good idea right? Wrong! While my climbing partner Carl opted for the trail, I prepared for my snowy descent.I t

8、ook three steps into the snow and whoosh, I slipped on the ice layer under the snow and slid under the snow.Now completely soaked with melt water, I could only crawl on my hands and knees to the dry rock above.By the time I made it out, I was out of options.The thunderstorms were approaching fast an

9、d all I could do was try and make myself flat against the mountain.Realizing almost too late that being the good geologist that I was, I had a rock hammer, camera, and who knows what other metal objects in my backpack, which sounded like good lightning rod material to me, I quickly took off my pack

10、and threw it as far away as I could.I then lay down on my back and tried to sink into the mountain as far as I could.I could hear the lightning striking the back of the mountain.The frequent loud report of the thunder marched even closer.It started to rain, and soon the rain turned to sleet.Normally

11、 this would not be a real big deal except that my nice warm rain jacket was cleverly tucked away in the backpack I just threw some 30 feet away.Already cold from being soaked with ice water, I dared not move.Just then the lightning arrived.Bolt after bolt was striking the mountain around me with ins

12、tantaneous explosions of the thunder.The storm moved across and the bolts of lightning were striking far below me now.I waited until I was certain the storm was truly past.I looked over and saw what really got me.There about a halfmile down the trail, I could see my climbing partner snug and warm be

13、neath a rock overhang he had found to wait out the storm.I gathered my pack and headed down the trail to catch up with him.We had a few laughs about it and I realized that with age does come great wisdom!【语篇解读】本文为一篇记叙文。作者登上山顶之后，没有及时下山，遇到雷雨，亲身经历了一次被闪电和雷声包围的险情。1According to the first two paragraphs, t
