Mount Washington, the northeast\u2019s tallest peak (6,288\u2019), offers mountaineers some of the best training ground available to aspiring mountaineers. The views: gorgeous, the weather: harsh, and the challenge: formidable.\u00a0 Agiocochook (the mountain\u2019s original native American name) is most often attempted in the winter via the Lion\u2019s Head trail on its eastern flanks.\u00a0 The wind above treeline can be staggering, which presents one of the logistical challenges during an ascent.\u00a0 AMA climbers, equipped with all the necessary tools (Ice axe, mountain boots and\u00a0crampons), will be challenged\u00a0while participating in an\u00a0experience they wont soon forget.<\/p>\n

“Because in the end, you wont remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.\u00a0 Climb that goddamn mountain.” ~<\/em>Jack Kerouac<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
