Mount Washington

Mount Washington is the highest mountain in the Northeastern US. It is famous for its dangerously erratic weather, and long held the record for the highest wind gust measured on the Earth's surface at 231 mph. They often claim they have the world's worst weather.
We carry prayer flags for cancer patients, to learn more go to Radiatinghope.org
We started with some ice climbing on routes called Bob's Delight, Chia, Rock Finish and Pegasus.
The next morning we woke up early to conquer Mount Washington. We then climbed up the Pinnacle route, which was exhausting but amazing.

We crossed the long alpine desert, eventually making it to the summit.
