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.

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.

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!!

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

We made a judgement call to be safe. There's nothing prove up there. Muscling your way to the top might get you in trouble and risk the lives of a SAR team that might have to come looking for you. Happy hiking.

@@ChaseTheSummit there everything up in those mountains to prove, the difference between men and little sheep. Sir I promise no rescue team will ever be needed to rescue me lol. I'm the kind of guy rescue calls when they need help...
