Yep, my next mountain adventure has been scheduled. Sue and I are flying to New Hampshire in February to climb Mt. Washington with our Rainier climbing buddy Nancy.
If you aren't familiar with Mt. Washington, it is an interesting mountain. Not too tall (something like 6000 feet) but it boasts record-setting weather. The observatory on the summit has recorded the lowest temperature on earth, as well as the highest wind speed. The weather on this mountain is more severe than on any mountain in the world, including Everest!
The good part is that it isn't always so severe, so we're hoping for some decent summiting weather, or at least weather that won't force us to turn back.
Now I just need to invest in some gear...
