More From The Grand

The story of 4 climbers from Worthington, MN who were caught in the lightning strikes on the The Grand last month.

Johnson happened to be standing in a small puddle when the lightning struck. He said an odd blue glow came up from his feet, which were literally pushed upward off the rock by the energy of the blast….

“I felt the jolt go through me,” Miller said. “My gloves were smoking, my boots were smoking and there was the smell of burning hair. Dave was thrown from the rock. Now we were staring into the valley of the shadow of death.”
