Mount Washington is a well-known objective for mountaineers, climbers, and hikers alike. Sitting at 6,288’ Mount Washington, also known as Agiocochook, can be an amazing experience on any given day. Mt. Washington is known for its extreme weather and that’s because it's situated at an intersection where 3 major weather systems meet. Climbers and mountaineers use Mt. Washington as a training ground for bigger objectives such as Denali or Mount Rainier. Experiencing “the world’s worst weather” is one of the coolest experiences you can get here in the White Mountains. Mt. Washington once held the record wind speed on the planet clocking in at a whopping 231 MPH!
Winter ascents will be assessed via the Tuckerman Ravine Trail to the Winter Lions Head Trail. Soon we will get to the Alpine Garden before crossing back onto the Tuckerman Ravine trail to the summit. Once above treeline, we will be exposed to the elements and could encounter calm winds and bluebird skies or on the contrary, we could encounter the weather the mountain’s known for! Either way, WMG will guide you safely up and down this beautiful mountain and we will try to get you to the summit but no summit is ever guaranteed when you're mountaineering!
We will meet at 7 am at our office on the day of our summit attempt and do a gear check to ensure we are set up the best for success. Please follow our gear list and be sure to bring everything to our gear check!
