[at-l] The very intimdating MT. WASHINGTON

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Someone who thinks a thru hike is reasonable is asking if Mt Washington in 
winter is a reasonable idea?

You might want to consider going to their website and looking at their 
overnight summit trips. They have a particularly impressive required gear 
list for those contemplating spending an evening on Mt Washington, even 
with motor transport for much of the trip. They also offer information 
about avalanche risk and a list of fatalities.

It sounds like a real cool idea to me, too.
