Description:

 

Mt. Washington is known as "The home of the world's worst weather" and for good reason.  It is common in the winter for wind speeds to hit 100+ mph, making this a real challenge and an unforgettable experience.  We will start early at the Pinkham Notch visitors center and take the route with the best conditions.  All participants should be physically fit and prepared for all possible conditions.

 

Difficulty:   3

 

Although not technically difficult, all participants should be physically fit and prepared for a long day in the mountains.  Climbers should be able to carry a 25 pd. pack for 8+ hours.

Mt. Washington winter climbs can be gear intensive.  Please look at our gear list under the info section, and feel free to call to see if what you have will work.  All technical gear (ice axe, harness, helmets, biners, crampons) are included.  Mountaineering boots are not included, but some are available for rental for $35  a day.
