I'm happy to report that we made it up (all the way to the summit!) and back in one piece. I blogged
last week about how the weather wasn't looking too great for our summit bid, but it turned out the mountain was in a good mood and we were given very favorable climbing conditions on both days. The night was quite cold, with wind chills down near -15 degrees, but we stayed pretty cozy holed up in our sleeping bags. Even though we weren't frozen solid, the night was somewhat uncomfortable and resulted in little sleep. Still, we woke up to a beautiful morning, fresh snow and fresh legs to begin our climb.
Summit learning she's not coming with us (that's a pout if I've ever seen one!)
The weather the day of our summit climb was the nicest winter day we've ever experienced on Mount Washington. The temps were in the teens with only moderate winds and the sky was clear. A perfect day for summiting!
