This past weekend seemed like a perfect weekend to head up to the White Mountains for some good 'old adventure. Hotel rooms are still cheap and the weather seemed to be ideal. The plan was to head up to Huntington Ravine in search of some early season ice climbing on Saturday. As you may know, Mount Washington is not generally known for beach-like conditions. The Saturday weather report for Mount Washington was -15 to -25 with the wind chill and up to 100 mph gusts. We used our better judgment and finished up the rock climbing season with a morning on Cathedral Ledge climbing Thin Air (5.6). It was 35 degrees and sunny!
Sunday's weather report for Washington was a little more manageable (and desirable). We headed up to Huntington Ravine with blue bird skies and the ground covered in snow. We climbed Pinnacle Gully and had an excellent day. The climbing was good for early season and our only complaint was that we didn't take enough pictures.
I hope that I don't bite my tongue, but it appears that winter is finally here...
