Mt. Washington, North Ridge

Activity Notes

We will meet the night before at around 7:00-8:00 pm to discuss the climb.  Climb will begin at around 5:00 am (to be decide the night before).  We will hike south on the PCT a few miles to the climber's trail junction to the NW ridge of the mountain.  We will hike up the ridge to the base of the summit block (~500' high feature) (See gear list).  I will set up the rock pitches.  First pitch will be a mixed handline and belay.  The next 2 pitches will be handlines.  After everyone gains the summit, we will descend the top 2 handlines and rappel the last pitch.  Descent will be either the scree slop or the NW ridge - depending on the mood of the team. Total expected trip time is around 12 hours.
