Description:
Mt Washington is a super fun climb with three pitches (rope lengths) of vertical-ish climbing, then three pitches of rappelling including a free hanging rappel back to flat ground. The approach is also a partial loop allowing for new scenery on the way down.
This will be a minimum of a 12 hour day. Comfort with rock climbing skills and exposure, plus being in mountain climbing shape are crucial for this climb.
