Sporty conditions! What a video! 👍

Many years ago my partner and i were in similar conditions. Many factors are considered in deciding to continue or to abort. The safe bet is to call it a day. Ive had beautiful days in the ravine only to top out and have horizontal snow greet you above the headwall. Its been many years for me... Thank you for the post brought back some fond memories.

He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. Good call on not going up. There is always tomorrow. You guys get an A+ for effort!

So many people underestimate this mountain. I've had ex-military rangers who have been around the world tell me in person that Mount Washington was the hardest condition they have ever been in.

You guys are mad men....In the best way possible! Always better to see another climb than for that to be your last.

Great conditions, looks fun.

I hope to climb this upcoming winter there. Working on obtaining the rest of the necessary gear. Hopefully see you on the mountain!

Looks like a good time, guys! Bring on winter 2018 for another go.

I was on the mountain that day as well. Brutal!

Heading up in January. Def will be the biggest challenge I’ve done yet.

MW is the deadliest mountain in America

When I thought the blizzard couldn't get any worse, it just turned white

Sick! Good call

wow! ice tools have changed a lot since the early 80s

I honestly don't know how your pants stay up with balls made of steel! 😳

Many of the best adventures of my life. It's real there.

Did my first hike on Mt washington yesterday made the summit and took Tuckermans Ravine. I definitely underestimated it. This looks absolutely nuts. Good call and great video. This looks way worse then what I encountered.

Looks brutal 😆

Damn that's nuts. Going up in mid October to see what that's like. I've only hiked it in summer, time to make it more challenging. Great footage!!

It can be a very nasty place…glad you’re safe

Gnarly 😎

Was almost that bad on my climb up Central Gully. The walk thru the Alpine Garden (0.9m-ish) to LH with a -40F windchill, 70 mph winds was gnarly as fuck! Luckily it stopped snowing and visability was decent. Definitely an epic day

mad respect! ;)

that looks super fun lol

EPIC

I've been up through Huntington Ravine twice. I choose not to risk a third now that I'm 50.

Nope, nope, noooooope. Hell no.

Wow

I grew up 20 minutes from right there

Wow the weather wasn't as bad as my climb up a few weeks ago, you could have made it up the mountain if you wanted it more

A good decision to abort the mission.....wink
