So, two days to the adventure of the year. 5.5 hour drive from CT to North Conway NH on Friday night. Can you say car snacks and junk food?
Saturday is all about an introduction to mountaineering course including all facets of basic winter mountaineering. Ice Axes, Crampons and tons of other gear for me to buy one day!
Sunday, is a winter ascent of Mt. Washington, the highest mountain in New England at over 6,000 feet high. After we summit, and come down, its a 5.5 hour drive home. Woo Hoo! Can I get a whoop whoop?
If you are interested in reading about the climbing, check out the page at http://emsclimb.com/packages.htm and look at the Two Day Mountaineering description that includes the wintertime ascent of Mt. Washington.
Wish us luck, and watch for the video of us planting the american flag at the summit!
