Mount Washington

A sea of clouds in Pinkham Notch, from the Lion's Head
On Saturday, March 29, I climbed to the summit of Mount Washington via the Tuckerman Ravine and Lion's Head Trails.  The weather was excellent with sunny skies, moderate temperature and light winds.  As a result, there were many climbers enjoying the mountain with me.  But I got an early start, beating the crowds to reach the summit well before noon and finishing my climb by 2 p.m.  My round trip time to the summit and back was only 5 hours and 50 minutes, one of my best ever.
