Hey everyone, I'll be in North Conway, New Hampshire on the 24th till the 27th of December and would love to climb Mt Washington, thinking of doing Lion Head or Tuckerman or Huntington. I'm looking for a partner who is interested in joining me, I'm open to suggestions or thoughts on routes.

I'm coming up from Philadelphia and am also keen to do some technical ice climbing in the area so let me know if your free around christmas.

I was thinking about getting up Washington via tuckermans, but couldn't do it till the 29th. Hopefully there's a serious cold snap coming!

I did not check Mt washington but the Xmass weather for VT looks absolutly horrible:( close to a worst case scenario.. way above freezeing for a bunch of days in a row with heavy rain and warm wind :( :( :(

Oh no, I haven't been checking the weather much but it looks like there is a bit of snow on the observatory web cams.

Got to head back on the 27th so hopefully I get something done!

if you go i'd be interested to hear the conditions. I think it's a little early in the season with the warm weather factored in, but i still wanna do this hike at least once this winter (and probably snowboard tucks down) so any info would be helpful
