Impressive accomplishment. Even in my thirties, I would have scheduled 4 days for this loop, if not 5. I've always thought the Whites were easier to walk in winter than summer, simply because one gets to choose foot placement instead of having it dictated by the rocks. You managed to hit most (Ammonoosuc is probably the hardest, but the ends of the Wildcat Range are no joke) of the most difficult hiking of the Whites in this loop. Happy you got the weather to play ball. Well done.

You prompted me to attempt a similar trail this past week. Bad weather forced it into an overnighter. WOW I was not ready for a trail of such difficulty. I ended up going up the Madison Gulf Trail, over to Mt. Washington, and then down the Nelson Crag Trail. The up and down trails were easily the most difficult trails I’ve ever completed. The “flat” portion was extremely exhausting. For anyone who’s interested, I would recommend hiking with a helmet and a buddy (as evidenced by his fall). Many falls could easily end you. I don’t know if I can recommend it to anyone, honestly.
