Climbing Washington

Maia, Courtney, Will and I climbed Mt. Washington yesterday. It was 75° at the base, but 33° at the summit with 40-50 mph winds, gusts to 67. We had failed to dress properly for the occasion, but we made it OK--up and down in 7 hrs.

Heading up.

Starting up Tuckerman's Ravine.

At the top.

Heading down.

Posers.

Extra socks came in handy.

excellent work, though i must say with that fine road to the top i prefer to eat shrooms and drive to the summit.

simpson sperm has been known to eat thru steel; ain't gonna be slowed up by no fungus growin outta da dung... but anyway, dicky and i ate dem shrooms and drove up the high mount some years ago whilst the older kin struggled to the top and then back down again for reasons explained thusly: because it's there they insisted because it's there and then uncle jimmy proceeded to slice and dice mr. mark geiger until mark yelled no mas no mas and we all drove back to joysey.
