Nah.Just an 8ft graphite lightning rod.

One year I was well above treeline on Mount Katahdin when a storm quickly moved in. I nearly sheet myself, could taste metal in my mouth, hair standing on end and me crouched into a tiny ball praying for my life for about 45 minutes. Funny how religious one can get in the face of danger. I saw lightning literally bounce off the rocks, strike after strike. No fun that day, my ears rang and I was sore from head to toe for about three days after.

Don't take chances, remember what happened to those two guys at the west wall last season!

I was fishing a spot in Portmouth on the river.

One big flash...then BANG.
