The 10th Annual Seek the Peak Hikathon to benefit the Mt. Washington Observatory. Great hike. Great time!
Bart, Rossko, Roger, and I hit up Tuck's, 4/17-4/19/2008--the weekend of the Son of Inferno Race. For Roger and me, it had been 20+ years since the last time we'd been there. It was Bart's second trip, and Rossko's first. See My Tux Trip website for the Tripp Report, with other photos.

The Tuckerman trail was extremely busy with people going up and I would consider the Lion's Head trail to be much better for going down.

The top of the trail is very steep and scrambling is tricky - any fall here would have dire consequences.When you ascend the rock-slabs in the ravine, make sure you keep a close eye for the yellow blazing marks - it is VERY easy to lose track of your trail as it doesn't always take (what appears to...
Very cold and windy day on the mountain, but well worth it! Went up and down via the Lion Head winter trail, which is MUCH steeper than its summer counterpart.This is an absolutely amazing climb, but it goes without saying that one should ONLY do this with all the required equipment and a ton of warm clothes!Weather stats for the day:Sustained winds: 60mphPeak wind: 90mphTemperature: -1FFeel-like temperature: -39F
