Description:
Let's climb Mt Washington! We'll start in the dark, hike the PCT for about 4 miles then hit the climbers trail. Will pop out on a ridge and make our way to a rocky saddle where we'll put on our harnesses. Then we do 3 rope pitches of climbing. It's more than scrambling. There are some 5th class moves, you get your money's worth. We'll rappel back off the 3 pitches and pick our way back to the climbers trail. Plan on a 12 - 15 hour long day. It'll be great.
