The weather can actually be good on Mt. Washington. Eleven of eleven of our group made the summit this year. Summit temps were in the mid-20’s, wind gusts in low 20mph range, sunny, deep blue skies, packed snow trail, above the clouds. I am still in disbelief. Here is the Mt. Washington Observatory weather blog that has some pix from our summit day (Sunday, January, 17th). The cloud ‘flows’ over Tuckerman Ravine……amazing. Also, after a nearly six year break, climbed some vertical ice. My old friend and climbing partner in Korea, Yang-il, drove 11 hours from Toronto to join us on this trip. Good times. Should have pictures of Mt. Washington summit day and ice climbing at Cathedral Ledge up soon.
