I hiked up Tuckerman Ravine to Hermit Lake (1900 ft vertical) I have hiked in Colorado,Wyoming , Montana,Utah, Arizona, N.M and California and New York's Adirondacks but I have never gotten a scarier vibe from a mountain then I did on Mount Washington. I have driven up it 5 times. The scary thing is that being able to drive up it lend people to underestimate it even more. I will make sure I have a bivy bag and winter gear gear ,even if its the summer. I have never seen weather change faster.

11/26 No. You have left sanity behind. I only climb solo. I have years and many miles of experience without the safety net of hiking pals. I would recommend the hikes I complete to no one. On Tuesday the 16th I summited Katahdin via the Cathedral Trail in the rain. Up top this turned into a delightful early snow storm. However, if you have to ask if something is wise, it is safe to say it isn't. 12 hours you say. There will not be 12 hours of daylight on that date. And then you ask for the funnest route up with rocks?!? If winter delivers early, there will be no rocks on any trail. If you like ledges come to Huntington Ravine in the summer on a dry day.

After a cliff climbing accident I took the recently rehabed freind and two brothers up lions head in 78'. despite their injuries we did it in 1:45. Ive enjoyed reading the stories I hope to get back up to the summit again some day when I get a new knee. Is there still ice bridges over the streams in august?

Hiked it when I was about 15. As we got above the tree line, the clouds rolled in, very quickly. Just like in the article, temperatures dropped and it started pouring. We were close enough to scramble up to the top and take shelter from lightning and wind in the shack. Thankfully we caught the final shuttle van of the day to the bottom.

I hiked Mt washington when i was 19 with 3 friends, we smoked pot and shot whiskey all the way up, summited in shorts and tees during june of 2004, whaat a good time, damn it was nice being a young hiker, leaving massachusetts tomorow for the mountain to see if i still got what it takes

Washington can be a disaster or a cake walk depending on your preparedness and the weather! Even the average summer day can be dicey if you aren't prepared for the typical forecast of "mostly sunny with a chance of afternoon thunder showers"! When the temps drop, the wind picks up and you're soaking wet and you only brought a water bottle you're *******. That's an extreme, but you get the idea. The weather can change on a dime and the conditions it very often presents are NOT hiking weather. You have to be smart and be willing to put the trip off to another day. OH! The current wind record for a "manned" observation station is still Mt. Washington Observatory's of 231mph.

Climbing Mt Washington in the winter can be the easiest thing you've ever done, the hardest, or in some unfortunate cases the last thing you've ever done. Weather and conditions change dramatically. It can go from serene to apocalyptic in a matter of hours or sometimes minutes. I've been up about 50+ times in the winter and every time it's pretty much a different experience.

For a couple of decades I and a group of friends would camp at Hermit Lake Shelters or Harvard Outing Club Cabin for a winter summit trip on New Years Eve, trying to be the first climbers to summit on New Years Day each year. We made it up about half the years. Other years the weather was bad (we'd have to wait a day or 2)or someone got sick. Another good tip: don't attempt Mt. Washington unless everyone is feeling 100% healthy!

about 20 years ago my best friend asked me to go with him to hike mt. Washington. At the time I hiked a lot in pa. Where we live near blue mt. Ski area. I said yeh sure why not, I knew a little about the mountain but turns out not enough. We were lucky because it was july but it was not like the july we knew on the summit. The weather turned to crap at the bottom of tuckerman with misty rain n light wind all the way to the summit. We made it but wet n tired, wayne wanted to hike back down and I talked him out of it.
We sat inside n warmed up and the wind out
Side hit speeds I have never seen in my life ever. We took the shuttle off the mountain. Best 15 bucks I ever spent! Since then I have hiked there 4 more time and skiing tuck's but we were well geared up. I still to this day tell people that mountain can kill u if u r stupid or think u have big balls!

it doesn't take a real man to hike mt Washington in January in shorts. it takes an idiot.

Is it really that dangerous? I just watched a video of some girl who did a solo, night ascent of Mt. Washington:
