Mt Washington, 12/14

Via Tuckerman Ravine Trail and the Lion Head Trail "summer" route.

There were many people using crampons. I wore Hillshounds as far as the upper summer route/winter route junction, and snowshoes from there. I carried an ice axe but used trekking poles the whole way.

Mostly in the clouds on ascent, but we enjoyed a spectacular undercast on descent.

Wonderful photo - Thanks for sharing, Dave

Thanks Dave! Most kind, much appreciated.

Here is a slide show from the hike.

Happy holidays to all.

Hey Blaze, we must have just missed you. We came up the Crawford Path and were on the summit just before 1. Possibly a little earlier than you? Judging by the blue sky in your photos. I will agree, the undercast was most impressive.

Nice shots! We also summited just before 1:00 PM.

We must have just missed you. There was 3 of us plus 1 dog in a grey coat.

Not sure you missed us... pretty sure the dog bit one of us. A pity.

Thanks for continuing to post your outstanding photos here ( your baldface shots had nice skies). I was on pierce that day, sunday and visibility was as limited as I've experienced, about 50 feet. I was wondering how high I would have to keep climbing to escape the clouds. Thanks for taking me there vicariously.
