After waiting out some hail in the car at the parking lot, I took off. Perfect temps, but the clouds looked ominous. Sure enough, right as I got to ridge overlooking Utah Valley to the West thunder started banging and a really strong cold wind picked up. Looking west towards the approaching storm I was right on the edge of it. There was a chance it would swing south of me, but there was a chance it would hit me on the exposed ridge to the summit. I don&#8217;t mess with lighting, especially on ridges. Some people coming off the ridge said they could feel electricity crackling around them and in their fingertips &#8211; so I think I made a smart choice to bail. Looking back up as I ran back to the car and drove off&#8230;I think I would have been ok. I think the storm swung pretty far south &#8211; but it was better to play it safe. Nebo&#8217;s not going anywhere. I&#8217;ll be back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe height=\"405\" width=\"590\" frameborder=\"0\"
