Many have heard, many have exclaimed: Mt Washington (6288′) is home to the some of the world’s worst weather. The fastest human-observed overland wind speed record, 231 miles-per-hour, was set on this stout mountain’s summit and that record remains to this day. This mountain’s notoriety is well-deserved. On some days it’s nasty up there, on others it’s barely survivable, and on many days we don’t even try, its ferocity off the charts of doability. Running our two-day program for Ridj-it and other groups, the weekend is scheduled in advance so the weather’s a roll of the dice. Since many come for the bad weather, specifically, this group’s trip may have been a success or failure, depending on your view. In any case, four more people have claimed this lauded winter summit — on a wicked beautiful day. On lead for this trip was Redline Guides Ryan Mcguire and Pat Ferland. Both guides contributed to the photos.
