The day
Mount Washington holds some of the worst weather on the planet, which is exactly why a guide matters. We climb the Lion Head trail, pace the ascent to the conditions on the day, and turn the summit cone into a confident push rather than a gamble. You bring your legs; the guide brings the route knowledge, the call on the window, and the margin.
Highlights
- Lion Head ascent with a real-time weather call
- Tuckerman Ravine headwall views
- Summit cone navigation in exposed terrain
