Trip Report

This was the second climb of a "double weekend". This morning was a little warmer than Saturday morning. Views were again great, with Thielsen just showing in the south, but haze prevented seeing anything north further than Jefferson.

Congratulations go to Sue and LiLi for their first summits of Mt. Washington, and to Tim and Jen for their first summits ever. Jen also did her first rappel!

An injury to one of the climber's hands in getting onto the scree trail brings into question the wiseness of using this descent route.

Climbers were Sue Carey, Jennifer Cea Galfin, Tim Galfin, Doug Nelson, LiLi Weldon and Wayne Deeter, leader.
